Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 340 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Division 215 - OREGON GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING PROGRAM › Section 340-215-0120 - Requirements for Electricity Suppliers

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
Electricity suppliers required to register and report under OAR
				340-215-0030(5)  must report information and emissions related to the generation
				of electricity delivered or distributed to end users in this state during the
				previous year, regardless of whether the electricity was generated in this
				state or imported. Such reports must;
(1) Report the megawatt-hours (MWh) and
			 greenhouse gas emissions from the generation of electricity from unspecified
			 sources and from each specified source delivered or distributed to end users in
			 Oregon during the previous year, as follows:
(a) For unspecified sources, report the MWh
			 of electricity and calculate and report the associated GHG emissions according
			 to section (5)(a). Separately identify the MWh for power purchased from any
			 energy imbalance market(s) or other centralized market(s);
(b) For specified sources of electricity,
			 report as follows:
(A) Report specified
			 sources when one of the following applies:
(i) The electricity supplier is a facility or
			 unit operator, full or partial owner, party to a power contract for a fixed
			 percentage of generation from the facility or generating unit, party to a
			 tolling agreement and rents a facility or unit from the owner or is an
			 exclusive power deliverer that is not a retail provider and that has prevailing
			 rights to claim electricity from the specified source; or
(ii) The electricity supplier has a power
			 contract for electricity from a DEQ-approved asset-controlling supplier (ACS)
			 or generated by a facility or unit, subject to meeting all other specified
			 source requirements and can provide documentation that the contract was
			 designated at the time the transaction was executed; and
(B) Electricity suppliers reporting specified
			 sources must:
(i) Report the MWh of
			 electricity disaggregated by facility or unit, and by fuel type or ACS, as
			 measured at the busbar. If not measured at the busbar, report the amount of
			 electricity delivered in Oregon, including estimated transmission losses using
			 the default transmission loss correction factor of 1.02;
(ii) Report the GHG emissions associated with
			 the electricity calculated according to subsection (5)(b); and
(iii) Report details about each specified
			 facility, unit, or ACS, including fuel type or types and information about the
			 seller, including company name and contact
			 information;
(c) For electricity suppliers that are
			 multi-jurisdictional utilities that deliver or distribute electricity in
			 Oregon, report total MWh and greenhouse gas emissions from the generation of
			 electricity from specified and unspecified sources in the utility's service
			 territory or power system as required by subsections (a) and (b), and also
			 report the following:
(A) Wholesale
			 electricity purchased and taken from specified sources (MWh);
(B) Wholesale electricity purchased from
			 unspecified sources (MWh);
(C)
			 Wholesale electricity sold from specified sources (MWh); and
(D) Retail sales (MWh) to customers in
			 Oregon's portion of the utility's service territory or power
			 system;
(d) For
			 electricity suppliers that are not multi-jurisdictional utilities,
			 proportionally adjust all resources on an annual basis to account for the sale
			 of power to the wholesale market that is not known to be just specified or
			 unspecified; and
(e) Electric
			 companies and electricity service suppliers as defined in ORS
			 757.600 subject to ORS
			 469A.210 must report and
			 identify electricity (MWh) and greenhouse gas emissions associated with
			 electricity acquired from net metering of customer resources or a qualifying
			 facility under the terms of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Public
			 Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA") Qualifying Facility program;
(i) Power acquired from net metering of
			 customer resources includes the surplus electricity fed back into the electric
			 grid by a net metered generator; and
(ii) Greenhouse gas emissions and electricity
			 acquired from net metering resources may be reported in aggregate by resource
			 type.
