Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Support
The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) will develop rules for RNG distribution programs for both small and large utilities. Rules must include reporting requirement guidelines and a rate recovery costs process. The PUC must establish rate caps for small natural gas utilities.
The PUC has established voluntary RNG target distribution goals for large utilities that participate in the RNG program under the following schedule:
| Calendar Years | Percent RNG |
|---|---|
| 2020-2024 | 5% |
| 2025-2029 | 10% |
| 2030-2034 | 15% |
| 2035-2039 | 20% |
| 2040-2044 | 25% |
| 2045-2050 | 30% |
