OAR 860-090-0030: Integrated Resource Plan Procedural Requirements

(1) Each energy utility must file an IRP with the Commission no later than three years after the filing date of its prior IRP. (2) In preparing the IRP, the utility must allow opportunities for engagement that are open to all members of the public. Such opportunities must include opportunities to contribute information and ideas, receive information, and pose questions to the utility including but not limited to requests to run portfolios, futures, scenarios, etc. These opportunities for engagement must include opportunities that are accessible to members of the public with limited resources. (3) The utility must include in its IRP filing a certification that it has concurrently submitted its responses to the most recent version of the Standard Information Requests for Integrated Resource Plans and Updates, available on the Commission’s website. (4) Except as otherwise directed by the Commission, the utility must publish information submitted pursuant to section (3) of this rule as indicated in the most recent version of the Standard Information Requests. Information exempt from disclosure pursuant to a protective order issued by the Commission may be provided in redacted form. The utility must keep the published information available to the public until the utility has filed two subsequent IRPs. (5) If the Commission determines while the utility’s IRP is pending before the Commission that the utility has undertaken or committed to actions that directly conflict with the utility’s action plan, the Commission may direct the utility to take additional actions including: (a) Revising the utility’s action plan; or (b) Submitting a new IRP that is responsive to the Commission's directives.
