Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 757 § 757.695 — Mitigation of energy burdens; costs collection

Mitigation of energy burdens; costs collection. (1) In addition to comprehensive classifications, tariff schedules, rates and bill credits, the Public Utility Commission may address the mitigation of energy burdens through bill reduction measures or programs that may include, but need not be limited to, demand response or weatherization. (2) The costs of tariff schedules, rates, bill credits or program discounts allowed pursuant to subsection (1) of this section must be collected in the rates of an electric company through charges paid by all retail electricity consumers, such that retail electricity consumers that purchase electricity from electricity service suppliers pay the same amount to address the mitigation of energy burdens as retail electricity consumers that are not served by electricity service suppliers.
