Summary
Portland General Electric Company
enterprise infrastructure business
An electric utility with its own place in the routing table, and a handle that remembers when it sold internet access.
What it's used for
- An electric utility's network. 12,288 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
147.79.224.0/19carries the netnamePGNET, registered toPortland General Electric Companywith aNetwork Operation Centercontact.- The lookup for
147.79.176.0/20failed, so nothing is known about that record. - Both blocks come from
147.79. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The AS handle ends in
ONLINE, a suffix that dates itself. Utilities laid fibre alongside their power lines and several of them sold access over it in the years when that was novel; the handle outlived the product. - Space in the
147range predates the modern registry system, which fits an organisation that was connected early because it had wires everywhere already. - Three neighbours on an enterprise network is more than a company needs to reach the internet, and about right for one that must stay reachable during the events that take everybody else offline.
- No reverse names at all, and only one of two blocks resolving in the registry, leave a network that says very little about itself. For an operator of physical infrastructure that is the expected answer, and probably the intended one.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
