PacifiCorp charged an average of 11.08¢ per kWh to residential customers in 2024 - below the Washington average and far 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 below the Washington customer-weighted average (-10.7%). Its customers used well above the national residential norm at about 14,169 kWh a year each.
How this price compares
Ranked by price against the 39 utilities reporting residential rates in Washington, PacifiCorp comes 27th of 39. The state's range runs from PUD No 1 of Douglas County at 3.15¢ to Orcas Power & Light Coop at 18.38¢, so where a household sits inside Washington depends far more on which utility serves it than on the statewide average alone.
Against the 2 other investor owned utilities reporting in Washington, which averaged 13.25¢, PacifiCorp is below its own ownership class within the state (-16.4%).
All figures come from the 2024 release, so no comparison mixes vintages. The state figure is customer-weighted across 39 reporting utilities.
