Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 757 § 757.230 — for retail electricity consumers that are large energy use facilities.

for retail electricity consumers that are large energy use facilities. The classification of service must be separate and distinct from classifications of service for other commercial or industrial retail electricity consumers and have its own tariff schedule. Any tariff schedule adopted by the commission for the class must: (a)(A) Allocate the costs of serving the class of retail electricity consumers that are large energy use facilities to the class in a manner that is equal or proportional to the costs of serving the class; or (B) Directly assign the costs of serving a retail electricity consumer that is a large energy use facility to the retail electricity consumer; (b) Meet the same conditions the commission requires for a contract under ORS 757.295 (1)(b)(A)(v); and (c) Mitigate the risk of: (A) Other classes of retail electricity consumers paying unwarranted costs; and (B) Shifting the costs, in an unwarranted manner, of serving a retail electricity consumer that is a large energy use facility to other classes of retail electricity consumers, including costs of an electric company to meet load requirements resulting from the provision of electricity service to a retail electricity consumer that is a large energy use facility. (3) In deciding whether to approve a proposed tariff schedule of an electric company for a classification of service described under subsection (2) of this section, the commission shall consider whether the rates: (a) Result in, or have the potential to result in, increased costs or unwarranted risk to other retail electricity consumers; (b) Provide for equitable contributions to grid efficiency, reliability and resiliency benefits; (c) Impede the electric company’s ability to meet the clean energy targets set forth in ORS 469A.410 or reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases consistent with state policy; (d) Allow for procurement of or contracts for generation resources that support the electric company’s ability to meet the clean energy targets set forth in ORS 469A.410 or reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases consistent with state policy; and (e) Meet any other conditions the commission may require in the public interest.
