Oregon – Oregonians will experience a big rise in their electrical bills starting January 2025 as state officials have approved increases for two main companies. Customers of Pacific Power and Portland General Electric (PGE) will see roughly 10% rise by following the decision by the Oregon Public Utilities Commission, the agency in charge of overseeing privately owned utilities. These changes will surpass the rate of inflation during the same period and propel home power rates almost 50% higher than they were in 2020.
