(2) For a compliance year under subsection (1)(b) of this rule, each electric company that is subject to a renewable portfolio standard in the following calendar year under ORS 469A.052 must file its proposed annual revenue requirement for the following compliance year on or before November 15, 2010, and annually thereafter. (3) On or before December 1, 2010, and annually thereafter, each electric company must amend its filing made under section (2) of this rule for any updated renewable adjustment clause filing and retail electricity consumer loads that will be served through direct access in the compliance year. (4) For a compliance year involving a general rate proceeding under subsection (1)(a) of this rule, the electric company must make a compliance filing by December 1 in the year preceding the compliance year or 14 days from the entered date of the Commission’s final order in the general rate proceeding, whichever is later. The compliance filing must calculate the total revenue the Commission authorized the electric company the opportunity to recover in Oregon rates in the final rate proceeding order, adjusted for amounts and costs as needed under ORS 469A.100(3).
