We have officially made it to October, crazy to think that this year is already almost over. Just as a friendly reminder Rates are going up again in a few months! EWEB is raising rates 20% starting February, if you have Pacific power as your utility they are raising rates 14.9% starting January. if you have PGE as your utility then your rates will be raised an additional 10.5% effective January. Since 2021 these three utilities after these next rate increases have effectively raised your electricity bill over 50%.
80% of the power coming from our grid has to come from a renewable source by 2030. So I promise you this is just the beginning of what you know as expensive electricity costs. Utilities are already trying to remove solar incentives, making it very easy to switch and cost-effective. Once that happens, your luck will be mostly gone. If you think Solar does not work here in Oregon, I’m sorry but not sorry you are 100% wrong. If you get good enough sun and have enough roof space or property to facilitate the power that you need from the grid right now Solar is 100% in your favor.
or just continue to pay a higher bill every year and the utility will eventually give you solar power from their grid. The choice is yours.
