Prices for Your Oregon Home

Residential rates for electricity are charged using tiered pricing. Tiered pricing means different rates are charged depending how much energy you use. The less energy a customer uses, the less energy the customer is charged at a higher rate. By staying in a lower tier, customers pay less. Tiered pricing encourages customers conserve energy and use it efficiently.

As an example, the breakdown of the energy charges for a residential customer who uses 1,240 kWh would be:

1,000 kWh x 7.9919 cents (tier 1) $79.92
+ 240 kWh x 9.4099 cents (tier 2) $22.58
= 1240 kWh $102.50

Alternately, if that same customer used only 500 kWh during the same time period, less energy would fall into the higher priced second tier for a total of:

500 kWh x 7.9919 cents (tier 1) $39.96
+ 0 kWh x 9.4099 cents (tier 2) $0
= 500 kWh $39.96
