OR HB3546

Creates a separate utility rate classification for "large energy use facilities" defined as data centers (NAICS code 518210) using 20 megawatts or more of electricity, requiring dedicated tariff schedules distinct from other commercial/industrial customers

Requires electric companies to enter contracts of 10 years or longer with large energy use facilities, obligating these customers to pay minimum amounts based on projected usage for the contract duration

Mandates that tariff schedules allocate or directly assign costs of serving large energy use facilities to those facilities, preventing cost-shifting to other retail electricity customers

Requires the Public Utility Commission to evaluate whether rates for these facilities could increase costs for other customers, impede clean energy targets under ORS 469A.410, or harm grid reliability

Directs the PUC to submit biennial reports to the legislature by September 1 of each even-numbered year reviewing load trends from large energy use facilities, with the reporting requirement expiring January 2, 2035
