On January 8 and September 4, 2025, the Oregon Public Utility Commission (Commission) approved revised small and large generator interconnection procedures (SGIP and LGIP) for Qualifying Facilities (QFs) for Oregon’s three investor-owned utilities, Portland General Electric Company (PGE), PacifiCorp, and Idaho Power Company (Idaho Power). These filings were necessary to bring the utilities in compliance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Order Nos. 2023 and 2023-A, which mandated revisions to the utilities’ Large Generator Interconnection Agreements (LGIAs) and LGIPs. Many stakeholders, including Commission Staff, Community Renewable Energy Association, Oregon Solar + Storage Industries Association, Renewable Energy Coalition lobbied for greater alignment with the FERC-approved agreements and procedures.
