Scale and consumption
PacifiCorp reported 118.1K residential customers, ranking 1st of 12 utilities in Wyoming by customers served and covering 47.9% of the state's reported residential customers.
Dividing reported residential sales by customers served gives about 8,869 kWh per customer per year - near the national residential norm, implying a typical annual bill near $1,192.
Within Wyoming the median reporting utility sells about 10,618 kWh per customer, so PacifiCorp customers use -16.5% against their own state's middle. Consumption this light usually tracks denser housing, gas heating or a milder service territory, which softens the bill impact of a high per-kWh price.
