Oregon NW Natural Gas customers to see rate increase

The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) has approved changes to NW Natural customer rates in Lincoln County and across the state, that take effect October 31, 2026 for residential customers and November 1, 2026 for nonresidential customers. According to the PUC, the changes are the result of NW Natural’s request to allow recovery for capital projects that have recently entered service, the Alternate Rate Mechanism (ARM), and its annual Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA). Customer impact When combining the effects of these proceedings, a typical residential customer using 54 therms per month will see an overall rate increase of approximately $6.30 a month, or about 7.3 percent, beginning October 31, 2026. Actual impacts will vary based on energy use. Commercial and industrial customers will see varying increases based on usage characteristics and rate schedules, the PUC states in a release. Reasons for adjustment The rate changes reflect two proceedings. First, under dockets UG 527 and UG 528, the Commission approved a partial stipulation that lowers NW Natural’s requested revenue increase to about $13 million and establishes cost recovery for a set of capital projects intended to ensure safe and reliable service, including landslide mitigation work on the Coos County Pipeline.

Coos Bay port project moves to design phase, gains $205M in fed funds

Design work on a project that aims to turn the Port of Coos Bay into a major West Coast international container terminal will begin soon. The request for proposals seeks an engineering firm to answer whether the rail line between Coos Bay and Eugene can handle the additional traffic and study the project's potential impacts. The project could increase train traffic in Eugene dramatically. On Oct. 19, U.S. Rep. Val Hoyle and Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced the federal Department of Transportation had awarded another $204.8 million to the project. That grant, plus prior state and federal funding, brings the project to $460 million of its $2.3 billion goal. Melissa Cribbins, executive director of the project, said fundraising for the port likely will accelerate after these initial investments, because the federal grants can be used to match loans. Project officials anticipate the biggest funding source will be federal railroad loans . Matt Frisen, director of external affairs for the port, said the new award would fund final design, right-of-way acquisition, and some of the railroad upgrades for the project. On Oct. 28, the port closed proposals from prospective designers. At a Eugene town hall last year , port
