Pacific Power filed a general rate case in Oregon on May 5, 2026 asking to raise revenues by $170.7 million, 8.6% overall and 10.8% for residential customers, with changes starting April 5, 2027. Separate rate decreases scheduled for May 2026, January 2027 and April 2027 offset much of the residential increase. The Oregon PUC rejected PacifiCorp's request for a temporary 2.8% interim increase and expects to decide the full case in March 2027.
