New Large Load Eligibility Requirements

(1) A New Large Load Direct Access Program is only available for consumers contracting for energy resources that do not include any allocation of coal-fired resources as defined in ORS 757.518 (Elimination of coal-fired resources from allocations of electricity) (1)(b)(B) after January 1, 2030. For the purposes of this rule, “coal-fired resource” does not include a facility generating electricity that is included as part of a limited duration wholesale power purchase made by an Energy Service Supplier for immediate delivery to retail electricity consumers that are located in this state for which the source of the power is not known.
(2) Prior to taking service under the program, New Large Load Direct Access participants must sign and provide to the electric company an affidavit representing that the participant’s energy supply will not include any allocation of coal-fired resources consistent with the requirements of section (1).
(a) Prior to providing service, the electric company must provide a copy of the affidavit provided by a New Large Load Direct Access participant to the Commission.
(b) New Large Load Direct Access participants that are found in violation of the provisions of section (2) of this rule will be enrolled in the general cost-of-service opt out program in the next direct access enrollment window.
(3) For at least one period of 12 consecutive months within the first 36 months of receiving service, the actual load of a facility served under the New Large Load Direct Access Program must meet or exceed 10 average megawatts, unless the shortfall in load below that threshold is attributable to equipment failure, energy efficiency, load curtailment or load control, or other causes outside the control of the New Large Load Direct Access Program participant.
