Pacific Power seeks rate hike to boost Oregon revenues
Pacific Power and Light Company asks the Oregon Public Utility Commissioner to approve higher electric rates. The proposal would raise annual revenues by about 98.94 million dollars, roughly 12 percent, citing construction costs and high interest rates. Residential bills would rise four to twelve cents daily depending on usage, with commercial and industrial classes also affected. The company notes only about half of added revenues would reach the business due to taxes.
