claims on the electricity produced from
these types of power plants. The
portion supplied by (electric company

production and purchases. (May not
add to 100 percent due to rounding.)

The Information on Environmental Impacts must be described as:

Information on Environmental Impacts
Carbon Dioxide is a major contributor to global climate change. Among the likely
impacts for Oregon are less mountain snow pack and less water available in summer,
higher sea levels, and threats to forests, crops, and fish and wildlife habitat. Coal and
natural gas are the main sources of carbon dioxide from power generation.

Nitrogen Oxides and Sulfur Dioxide are air pollutants that affect human health, plants,
fish and wildlife. Nitrogen oxides contribut e to smog. Coal is the main source of these
pollutants from power generation. Natural gas plants produce nitrogen oxides.
Nuclear Fuel Wastes contain the most radioactive and long-lived waste formed during
operation of nuclear power plants. These wastes are stored at nuclear power reactor sites.
The U.S. has no permanent disposal site for these wastes.
Hydropower Impacts - Some hydropower dams contribute to the decline of salmon and
other fish and wildlife populations.

Residential and Nonresidential Formats

Residential Format

The companies must use the basic format and add a column for each option. The
information must be provided at least quarterly. The option must be described under
the option name. The cost comparison information must be shown in dollars per month
and cents per kWh. The cost comparison information may be shown separately from
the other information in accompanying materials. The format includes the price formula
(e.g., for a fixed renewable option: "Basic Service rate + an additional fixed monthly
amount to purchase clean wind power = electricity price"). The supply mix and
environmental impact information must be shown using the pie chart and bar chart
formats shown in Basic Format. The main terms and conditions must be shown.

Nonresidential Format

Electric companies and electricity service suppliers must use the basic format and
provide the information on or with each bill. Electric companies and electricity service
suppliers may provide a full set of printed information on a quarterly basis if the entity
provides a URL address for a world-wide web site that displays the power source and
environmental impact information for the products sold to consumers on each bill. If the
electric company or electricity service supplier bills a nonresidential consumer
electronically, the labeling information may also be provided electronically.

Electric companies and electricity service suppliers are not required to use the detailed
format in the Cost Comparison and Price Formula sections. They are required to
provide price information. They may display that information based on their pricing
structure.
