Rate comparison

How this price compares

Ranked by price against the 26 utilities reporting residential rates in Oregon, PacifiCorp comes 24th of 26. The state's range runs from City of McMinnville - (OR) at 7.56¢ to Sunnova at 34.44¢, so where a household sits inside Oregon depends far more on which utility serves it than on the statewide average alone.

Against the 2 other investor owned utilities reporting in Oregon, whose customer-weighted average is 18.07¢, PacifiCorp is below its own ownership class within the state (-22.4%).

Rate against consumption: Oregon utilities

Each dot is one of the 26 Oregon utilities reporting both a residential price and residential sales in 2024, placed by its rank percentile within that group rather than its raw value, so one very large utility cannot flatten the rest. Bubble size follows customers served, rank-scaled so a utility with millions of customers cannot swamp the rest. PacifiCorp is highlighted. In Oregon the cheapest rate belongs to City of McMinnville - (OR) (7.56¢) while the smallest implied annual bill belongs to Sunnova ($413) - a household's bill is price multiplied by consumption, so the two rankings are different lists. 2×2 strategic matrix plotting 26 entities by Price rank percentile (100 = most expensive in state) (X) and Consumption rank percentile (100 = heaviest use) (Y), with a crosshair dividing the plot into four quadrants.

FAQ

Common questions about PacifiCorp rates

How much does PacifiCorp charge per kWh?
PacifiCorp reported an average residential price of 14.02¢ per kWh across its bundled residential customers in the 2024 EIA Form 861 release. That is an annual average across all its residential customers, not a rate schedule, so an individual bill depends on the tariff, usage pattern and season.
Is PacifiCorp expensive compared with the rest of Oregon?
Its average residential price is close to the Oregon customer-weighted average of 15.20¢ per kWh, a difference of -7.8%. The state figure is weighted by customers across the 26 utilities reporting residential service in Oregon.
What is the average electricity bill for PacifiCorp customers?
Dividing reported residential sales by residential customers gives about 10,592 kWh per customer per year. At the reported average price that implies roughly $1,485 a year, or about $124 a month. This is RateWatt's arithmetic on two EIA columns, not a figure EIA publishes.
Who owns PacifiCorp?
EIA classifies PacifiCorp as Investor Owned, a shareholder-owned company whose retail rates are set through a state regulatory commission. Nationally, the customer-weighted average across Investor Owned utilities was 18.37¢ per kWh in the 2024 Form 861 release.
