Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01.
Tucannon River Wind Farm is a 267 MW, 116 turbine, renewable resource that Portland General Electric Company (PGE, or the Company) is currently constructing in southeastern Washington at an estimated cost of $500 million, excluding allowance for funds used during construction. The facility is intended to help fulfill PGE’s obligation to meet customer loads under Oregon’s Renewable Portfolio Standard.
The Company has previously reported that the facility is expected to be in service in the first half of 2015. Based on progress to date, the Company has revised the estimated timeline for completion of the facility and now believes that the project will be in service between December 2014 and March 31, 2015.
On March 31, 2014, the Company submitted to the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) a renewable adjustment clause filing requesting deferral and recovery of the net revenue requirement of the project in the event that the facility comes on line prior to the inclusion of the project in base rates as proposed in PGE’s 2015 General Rate Case (OPUC Docket UE 283).
