kWh Index

Portland General Electric Co

Portland General Electric Co is investor owned serving 828,857 residential customers in Oregon, at an average residential price of 18.19¢ per kilowatt-hour.

That price is derived, and it is annual. It is total residential revenue divided by total residential sales in EIA’s 2024 survey — not a tariff, and not this month’s rate. For what a kilowatt-hour costs in Oregon right now, see the state page, currently 16.32¢.

A utility can file bundled service and delivery-only service separately. A delivery-only price excludes the energy itself, so the two are not comparable and are not ranked against each other.
