Ore. ALJ Expects Extension of Lumen Price Plan

Further extension of Lumen’s Oregon price plan is likely, said Oregon Public Utility Commission Administrative Law Judge Sarah Spruce Tuesday (docket UM 1908). The plan currently expires Sept. 28 (see 2307280037). Spruce said parties should file their next status report on settlement talks Sept. 1 and propose a new expiration date. If no settlement is reached by Sept. 1, the PUC will have a prehearing conference Sept. 12 to set a schedule to resume the contested case process, she said.
