| Source | OPB, Oregon Legislature passes ‘POWER Act,’ targeting industrial energy users like data centers (Monica Samayoa, 5 June 2025): HB 3546 creates a new classification for data centers, cryptocurrency and other large industrial energy users using more than 20 megawatts, requires a 10-year contract committing them to a minimum payment and to pay for new transmission. Oregon PUC media release PR-202609 (Docket UM 2377, May 2026) names Schedule 96 as the rate class required under HB 3546; Utility Dive (28 May 2026) reports the PGE framework as applying to loads exceeding 20 MW. |
