ORS 469A.205
Green power rate


(1)

Electric utilities shall allow retail electricity consumers to elect a green power rate. A significant portion of the electricity purchased or generated by a utility that is attributable to moneys paid by retail electricity consumers who elect the green power rate must be qualifying electricity, and the utility must inform consumers of the sources of the electricity purchased or generated by the utility that is attributable to moneys paid by consumers who elect the green power rate. The green power rate shall reasonably reflect the costs of the electricity purchased or generated by the utility that is attributable to moneys paid by retail electricity consumers who elect the green power rate. All prudently incurred costs associated with the green power rate are recoverable in a green power rate offered by an electric company.

(2)

Any qualifying electricity procured by an electric utility to provide electricity under a green power rate under subsection (1) of this section or ORS 757.603 (Electric company required to provide cost-of-service rate option to all retail electricity consumers) (3)(a) may not be used by the utility to comply with the requirements of a renewable portfolio standard.

(3)

The provisions of subsection (1) of this section do not apply to electric companies that are subject to ORS 757.603 (Electric company required to provide cost-of-service rate option to all retail electricity consumers) (3)(a).

(4)

An electric utility may comply with the requirements of subsection (1) of this section by contracting with a third-party provider. [2007 c.301 §23; 2021 c.508 §21]
