In the Clean Fuels Program, electric utilities are eligible to generate the credits from electric vehicles charging at the residences of their customers. The credits are sold and used to fund activities that will increase the pace of transition to electric vehicles, such as installing EV chargers, providing grants to businesses to convert their fleets and conducting education and awareness programs.
Beginning in 2022, each utility is required to submit an annual report summarizing how revenue from the sale of their credits was spent. By April 30th, each utility must report the total revenue from the sale of base and incremental credits attributable to residential vehicle charging for the prior calendar year. If revenue exceed $250,000, they should also report on the amount spent on programs and a brief description of each program, and the percentage spent on administrative costs. Details can be found in OAR 340-253-0460(9).
