OAR 860-082-0010. Waiver

(1) Upon request or its own motion, the Commission may waive any of the Division 082 rules for good cause shown. A request for waiver must be made in writing, unless otherwise allowed by the Commission. (2) A public utility and an applicant or interconnection customer may agree to reasonable extensions to the required timelines in these rules without requesting a waiver from the Commission. (a) If a public utility and an applicant or interconnection customer are unable to agree to waive a timeline, then the public utility, applicant, or interconnection customer may request that the Commission grant a waiver. (b) In deciding whether to grant a waiver of a timeline, the Commission will consider the number of pending applications for interconnection review and the type of applications, including review level, facility type, and facility size. (c) Waiver of a timeline, whether by agreement or Commission order, does not affect an application’s queue position.
