    I haven’t kept close track for a year so I think it’s gone up again but my shared bill in Oregon typically was around $250 at I think ~14-15c/kwh. A majority of our power comes from the BPA hydro dams on the Columbia so the cost hasn’t quite skyrocketed like other areas, but Pacificorp is still trying to raise rates 20% a year.

    (We are rural and also use electricity for pumping water from a domestic well, and irrigate a fairly large lawn as a wildfire break, so that is also our water bill.)

    PG&E is just criminal.
