Section 757.279 - Fixing rates or charges by commission; cost of hearing(1) Whenever the Public Utility Commission of Oregon finds, after hearing had upon complaint by a licensee, a public utility, a telecommunications utility or a consumer-owned utility that the rates, terms or conditions demanded, exacted, charged or collected in connection with attachments or availability of surplus space for such attachments are unjust or unreasonable, or that such rates or charges are insufficient to yield a reasonable compensation for the attachment and the costs of administering the same, the commission shall determine the just and reasonable rates, terms and conditions thereafter to be observed and in force and shall fix the same by order. In determining and fixing such rates, terms and conditions, the commission shall consider the interest of the customers of the licensee, as well as the interest of the customers of the public utility, telecommunications utility or consumer-owned utility that owns the facility upon which the attachment is made.(2) When the order applies to a consumer-owned utility, the order shall also provide for payment by the parties of the cost of the hearing. The payment shall be made in a manner which the commission considers equitable. 1979 c.356 §5; 1983 c.251 §1; 1987 c.414 §165; 1989 c.5 §6; 1999 c.832 §6
