PacifiCorp charged an average of 14.02¢ per kWh to residential customers in 2024 - close to the Oregon average and below the US average.
PacifiCorp is investor owned - a shareholder-owned company whose retail rates are set through a state regulatory commission. Its reported average residential price is close to the Oregon customer-weighted average (-7.8%). Its customers used near the national residential norm at about 10,592 kWh a year each.
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, which averaged 14.74¢, PacifiCorp is close to its own ownership class within the state (-4.9%).
All figures come from the 2024 release, so no comparison mixes vintages. The state figure is customer-weighted across 26 reporting utilities.
