Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) This rule is authorized pursuant to ORS
			 469.040(i)(d)
			 and 469.080 and implements the
			 policies enunciated by the Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC) in its
			 statement in explanation of the Need-for-Power Standard, adopted January 6,
			 1981. In that statement, EFSC directed the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE)
			 to develop rules for resource plan to be filed by electric utilities. EFSC
			 stated:
"Such a resource plan would document the steps to be taken by the
			 utilities to achieve the resources identified in the Need-for-Power standard
			 and their actions to overcome the constraints which preclude greater reliance
			 on these resources"
. This procedure is intended to offer the opportunity
			 to measure progress towards achieving greater reliance on conservation and
			 renewable resources.
(2) The
			 resource plan will offer information on how utilities plan to meet load
			 requirements in their respective Oregon sources area. The information will
			 foster understanding of Oregon electricity loads and resources, not only within
			 the state but within the region. Conversely, information produced in the
			 development of the regional electricity supply plan of the Pacific Northwest
			 Regional Planning Council will also be considered. Utilities are encouraged to
			 incorporate information developed for the regional supply plan to minimize
			 duplication and describe any significant differences.
(3) The information contained in the plans
			 will be considered public information except such specified information which a
			 utility explicitly seeks to be treated confidential pursuant to ORS
			 469.090.
(4) ODOE recognizes that information
			 contained in the resource plans may be preliminary and subject to change. The
			 information contained in the resource plans may be qualified to reflect
			 uncertainties.
(5) This rule will
			 be reviewed by July 1 of each year for appropriate revisions and may be revised
			 in the interim if warranted.
