Portland General Electric (Schedule 96; large load agreements under Rule I)
Large-load tariff for data centers: what is on file, the terms the filings state, and where each fact comes from. Terms a filing does not state are marked, never guessed.
StatusApproved Last reviewed 2026-05-07
Applies at20 MW or more for a large load customer agreement (LLCA); Schedule 96 applies to large energy use facilities of 20 MW or more
What the filing saysOregon PUC Order No. 26-154 (entered May 7 2026) adopts Schedule 96 with modifications and lowers the LLCA threshold to 20 MW. Minimum contract term of 10 years at 20 MW, plus one year per 10 MW increment, up to 30 years at 220 MW or more. A 1-cent per kWh surcharge applies to Schedule 96 customers with 100 MW or more of allocated system capacity. SEPARATELY, not a PGE/PUC rate matter: Gov. Kotek ordered an immediate pause (Sept 8 2026, through July 1 2027) on state agencies approving new leases, easements, land-use permits, or sales/transfers of STATE-OWNED land for data center projects -- narrower than a full permitting moratorium, since Oregon's governor reportedly lacks authority to halt private-land data center development outright. An advisory committee (formed Jan 2026) is due to deliver policy recommendations by end of 2026 for the 2027 legislative session.
