OAR 860-089-0010
Applicability and Purpose of Division 089

(1) The rules contained in this Division apply to electric companies, and are intended to provide an opportunity to minimize long-term energy costs and risks, complement the integrated resource planning (IRP) process, and establish a fair, objective, and transparent competitive bidding process, without unduly restricting electric companies from acquiring new resources and negotiating mutually beneficial terms.
(2) Upon request or its own motion, the Commission may waive any of the Division 089 rules for good cause shown. A request for waiver must be made in writing to the Commission prior to or concurrent with the initiation of a resource acquisition.
(a) In addition to the filing requirements in OAR Chapter 860, Division 001, an electric company filing a request for waiver under this section must serve the request on all parties to the electric company’s most recent general rate case, request for proposal (RPF) filing, and IRP docket.
(b) If a request for waiver is filed by an electric company after it acquires a resource, granting, if any, of the waiver request does not result in or equate to the Commission’s acknowledgment of the resource acquisition.
