Scope and Applicability of These Rules

(1) The rules contained in this division include the criteria and procedures by which a large retail electricity consumer with a site located within the State of Oregon, using more than one average megawatt the prior year (8,760,000 kilowatt hours/year), may become a self-directing consumer of a portion of its public purpose charges.
(2) The rules contained in this division apply to large retail electricity consumers of electric companies and electricity service suppliers, except that these rules do not apply to retail electricity consumers of an electric company serving less than 25,000 consumers in this state unless the electric company offers direct access to any of its large retail electricity consumers in this state or offers to sell electricity services available under direct access to more than one large retail electricity consumer of another electric utility.
(3) The rules contained in this division apply to large retail electricity consumers of consumer-owned utilities and electricity service suppliers, once the consumer-owned utility governing board has elected to allow open access to a class of customers for which that electricity consumer is a member. These rules only apply to the first three percent of public purpose charges imposed upon retail electricity consumers by a consumer-owned utility.
(4) With regard to an aluminum plant that uses more than 100 average megawatts of electricity per year, the rules contained in this division apply to a public purpose charge equal to one percent of the total revenue from the sale of electricity to the plant.
(5) Large retail electricity consumers eligible to become self-directing consumers shall not claim a credit against public purpose charges owed for new energy conservation or new renewable energy resource purchases until they are issued certificates for qualified expenditure under these rules.
(6) All information submitted to or collected by the Oregon Department of Energy or its agent under these rules shall be protected as business trade secrets to the extent permitted under the Public Records Act.
