Retail Unbundling - Oregon
Status: The state has no unbundled service
programs for residential customers.
Overview: No retail unbundling program is being
considered at this time by either the Oregon Public Utility Commission or the
state legislature. Legislation was enacted in 1999 to restructure the state's
electricity industry. However, legislation (HB3633) passed in August 2001
delayed the date for implementing retail access for large industrial
electricity customers from October 2001 to March 2002.
EIA State Data: In 2003, Oregon had 625,398 residential
and 74,515 commercial customers. They consumed 37 and 26 billion cubic feet of
natural gas, respectively. The average prices paid for natural gas purchased by
residential and commercial customers were $9.84 and $7.91 per thousand cubic
feet, respectively.
