Pacific Power customers in Washington to see nearly 8 percent rate decrease

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission announced it had approved changes to Pacific Power’s rates resulting in a 7.9 percent rate reduction.

The typical residential customer could see a decrease of $12.14 per month, the commission said. The Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism was filed by Pacific Power with the Washington UTC, and it is designed to help ensure customer rates reflect actual power costs over time.

“We understand affordability is a top concern for our customers,” Ryan Flynn, Pacific Power president, said. “When the costs of delivering power go down, customers should see the benefit. With this adjustment, we’re pleased to share that our Washington customers will see a decrease on their bills just in time for the colder months when power usage increases.”

Pacific Power serves more than 137,200 customers in Washington state, primarily in the Yakima and Walla Walla areas. Rate changes for those customers went into effect on Nov. 7, 2026, officials said.
