Bill > SB510

This bill requires the Public Utility Commission (PUC) to conduct a comprehensive study examining the potential rate impacts resulting from greenhouse gas emission reductions mandated by House Bill 2021 from the 2021 legislative session. Specifically, the bill directs the PUC to analyze how implementing the emissions reduction requirements might affect utility rates for consumers. The commission is required to prepare a detailed report, which may include legislative recommendations, and submit it to the legislative committees focused on energy by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, ensuring the analysis is time-limited. House Bill 2021 (2021) originally established greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for Oregon's electricity sector, and this bill seeks to understand the potential economic implications of those emissions reduction strategies by assessing their potential impact on utility rates.
