INITIAL UTILITY FILING
Description
PGE Advice No. 25-18, Schedule 118 Bill Adjustment Cost Recovery Mechanism Update. This filing updates Schedule 118 Bill Adjustment Cost Recovery Mechanism. PGE implemented this schedule concurrent with the launch of the Income Qualified Bill Discount (IQBD, Schedule 18) in April 2022 and consistent with House Bill 2475 (2021 regular session), while supporting the longer-term investigation into statewide bill affordability and energy burden facilitated by the OPUC in UM 2211. Since January 2025, continued enrollment growth, bill increases and costs incurred in compliance with the Commission's temporary rule-OAR 860-021-0630-have brought current program costs well above Schedule 118 collections. Additionally, the increased discount rates for the two lowest income tiers in IQBD, from 60% to 80% and from 40% to 50%, effective June 1, 2025, further increasing future program costs.
