Oregon business customers have options
Oregon’s electricity restructuring bill (SB 1149) was signed into law in July 1999 and took effect on March 1, 2002. The law introduced more energy supply pricing options for residential and small business customers, and competition in electricity supply for business customers.

Our rates continue to be approved and regulated by the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC). We will continue to deliver power to your business and will maintain the safety and reliability of our power system regardless of who supplies it. Business customers have two kinds of options:

• Expanded regulated options: Provides our residential and small business customers the opportunity to stay with the regulated Basic Service they've always had, or choose one of four other electricity supply options — all from Pacific Power.
• Direct Access :  Allows our business customers to choose between Pacific Power or alternative Electricity Service Suppliers (ESSs).

Options vary for small businesses and large businesses
Small business customer options (rate schedules 23 and 41)
Large business customer options (rate schedules 28, 30, 41, 48, 51, 52, 53, 54 or 76R)

What do I need to do?
All customers should become familiar with their electricity options, how the enrollment process works and what options will remain after making a choice.
