AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) to conduct a collaborative study with the Public Utility Commission (PUC) examining the potential advantages of implementing a central energy procurement policy. The study aims to explore and analyze the benefits of a centralized approach to energy purchasing, which could potentially improve efficiency, cost-effectiveness, or strategic energy resource management. ODOE is mandated to prepare and submit a comprehensive report to the legislative assembly's interim energy-related committees by September 15, 2026, with the option to include legislative recommendations. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study requirements will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, ensuring the initiative is time-limited and focused. This approach allows policymakers to gain insights into potential energy procurement strategies without creating a permanent new program or bureaucratic structure.
