Background
On May 5, 2022, Pacific Power filed its General Rate Case Application (A.22-05-006) with the CPUC. The application is requesting a total of $27.9 million. This rate increase is driven by current economic trends and wildfire mitigation efforts including: Investments in and maintenance of Pacific Power’s system infrastructure such as poles, wires, and other equipment needed to deliver electricity to customers.
How could this affect my monthly electric rates?
If Pacific Power’s rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential monthly bill using 850 kilowatt hour per month would increase by approximately $33.37 or 25.8% per month. These rates would not be effective until sometime in 2023, based on the timing of a final CPUC decision.
