PacifiCorp electricity rates

It is the dominant supplier in Wyoming, serving 118,130 residential customers, so its pricing effectively sets what the state average looks like. Its 13.44¢ per kilowatt-hour sits 9.2% below the Wyoming average of 14.80¢.

Consumption here is below the national norm at 739 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, which softens the effect of the rate on the final bill.

A shareholder-owned company whose rates are set by the state regulator, including an approved return on the capital it has invested. That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.

In 2024 the average PacifiCorp customer went 92 minutes without electricity across 0.86 interruptions. The median across the 941 utilities that report this is 185 minutes.

That is markedly better than typical. Short outage durations usually mean an underground or heavily automated network, and they are expensive to achieve, which is part of why reliable systems often carry higher delivery charges.

PacifiCorp offers time-of-use pricing to residential customers. 36 households were enrolled, about 0.1% of its residential base.

These plans are opt-in almost everywhere. They reward households that can move laundry, dishwashing, water heating or electric vehicle charging out of the late-afternoon peak, and they cost more than the standard rate for households that cannot. How to tell which group you are in.

940 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 7.31 megawatts. That works out to 8 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.

Adoption is above the national median, which generally tracks the retail rate more closely than it tracks sunshine. What exports are actually worth.
