Prepare Your Home For Fall With These Electrical Safety Tips - 10/30/26

Prepare your home for fall with these electrical safety tips 

Autumn is an ideal time to tackle maintenance projects around your home and yard
 
PORTLAND, Ore. (October 30, 2026) — Cooler temperatures and changing leaves mean fall has arrived across the Pacific Northwest, making now a good time to prepare homes and yards for the stormy weather ahead.
 
"Fall is the best time to get ahead of winter storms," said Jeremy Gee, Pacific Power's vice president of health and safety. "Take a few minutes to check for trees and branches that could reach power lines, and always look up before you prune or climb a ladder. A little preparation now can help prevent outages and keep your family safe."
 
Look up before you prune. Check for power lines in or near trees before cutting any branches. Keep yourself and anything you're handling, including pruning tools and ladders, at least 10 feet from overhead power lines. Never try to remove a branch that is tangled in or lying across a power line. Call Pacific Power at 1-888-221-7070 for help.
 
Some additional tips for fall safety: 

Gutters, ladders, and irrigation pipes can conduct electricity. Stay at least 10 feet from power lines and anything touching them.

Use wooden and fiberglass ladders. Metal ladders conduct electricity.  

Be aware and steer clear of overhead electrical wires when installing, removing, cleaning or repairing gutters.  

Never use electrical equipment near pools or wet areas such as puddles. Make sure outlets are equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), which automatically disconnects power if a tool contacts water.

Plant trees and shrubs away from meters, switching cabinets and boxed transformers. Blocked equipment makes repairs more difficult and sometimes dangerous for utility crews.

Have help when installing or adjusting a satellite dish or antenna. Make sure you’re working at least 10 feet away from overhead power lines. 

Underground power lines are just as dangerous as overhead ones. Call at least 48 hours before planting a tree or installing fence posts so utilities can be located and marked for free. 

Always assume a fallen line is energized. Stay at least 35 feet away from it and anything it touches, then call 911 and Pacific Power at 1-888-221-7070

Pacific Power Reaches Settlement In Oregon General Rate Case - 10/29/26

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Media hotline: 503-813-6018

Pacific Power reaches settlement in Oregon General Rate Case

PORTLAND, Ore. (October 29, 2026) — Pacific Power reached a settlement with Oregon Public Utility Commission staff and other parties in the company’s 2027 Oregon general rate case.

Pending final approval by the Commission, residential customers would see a net average increase of about 0.3% in April 2027 compared with April 2026. Power cost decreases and other price changes in 2026 and early 2027 would almost entirely offset a 9% general rate case increase that would take effect in April 2027. Over the same period, commercial and industrial customers would see a net average decrease of about 6.5%

Anticipated rate case and power cost rate changes for residential customers
2022 Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism	May 2026	Decrease of 2.8%
Vegetation Management and Wildfire Mitigation Mechanisms	October 2026	Increase of 0.2%
Energy Assistance Pass-Throughs	October 2026/January 2027	Increase of 1.0%
2027 Transition Adjustment Mechanism (estimated)	January 2027	Decrease of 3.0%
2021, 2023 & 2024 Power Cost Adjustment Mechanisms	April 2027	Decrease of 4.2%
2027 General Rate Case	April 2027	Increase of 9.0%
Washington service area transfer	20271	Increase of 0.1%
TOTAL		Net increase of 0.3%

"We know any increase is difficult, and affordability guides every decision we make," said Rick Link, senior vice president of regulation and planning. "We've worked hard to keep our overall cost increases below inflation and well below the increases customers are seeing for other essentials. This collaborative agreement reflects the real costs of providing safe, reliable electricity and supports critical investments in the grid."

The settlement reflects higher costs for poles, wires and other equipment, rising wildfire insurance costs and completed infrastructure projects. If approved, new rates would take effect April 5, 2027.

Customers who need help with their bills can apply for the Level-Based Income-Qualified Discount at PacificPower.net/LID. Depending on income, the program lowers bills by 20% to 80%. Bill support, budget billing and energy-efficiency rebates are also available. Learn more at PacificPower.net/OregonRateProposal or call 1-888-221-7070.

Pacific Power Earns 2026 AEIC Achievement Award For Using AI-powered Insights To Connect More Oregon Customers With Bill Assistance - 10/27/26

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   

Media hotline: 503-813-6018

Pacific Power earns 2026 AEIC Achievement Award for using AI-powered insights to connect more Oregon customers with bill assistance

 

PORTLAND, Ore. (October 27, 2026) — Pacific Power has earned a 2026 Achievement Award from the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies for using AI-powered analysis to help identify Oregon customers who may qualify for bill assistance. The effort contributed to about 9,000 additional enrollments in the company’s Oregon Low-Income Discount program.

The award recognized Pacific Power’s data-driven approach to connecting customers facing financial challenges with assistance.

Using Bidgely’s UtilityAI-powered Analytics Workbench, Pacific Power reviewed census information, customer data, household energy use and communication preferences, identifying about 37,000 additional households that may be eligible. The analysis helped the company focus its outreach on those customers. The Low-Income Discount program offers bill discounts between 20% to 80% for customers at or below 60% of state median income, adjusted for household size.

The AI-powered analysis was used to inform customer outreach, not to determine eligibility. Customers chose whether to apply, and applications continued through the program’s established process. Customer information remained protected and was handled under Pacific Power’s existing privacy policies.

Between 2025 and 2026, enrollment in the Low-Income Discount program grew from about 69,000 to 78,000 customers. Awareness of Pacific Power’s assistance programs rose 10% in the J.D. Power Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study, while satisfaction among program participants held steady at about 90%.

“Affordability begins with making sure customers know what help is available and how to get it,” said James Owen, vice president of customer experience and innovation at Pacific Power. “Reaching the right customers with the right message is a prudent use of our outreach resources, and it means more Oregon families are receiving savings they already qualify for.”

Campaign results also helped Pacific Power identify potential barriers in the application process. When the company found that some customers started but did not complete an application, it updated its outreach messages to remind applicants to have their account number and income information available before beginning.

“Technology is most valuable when it helps solve a real customer problem,” said Barbara Modey, customer satisfaction market research manager. “The data showed us not only who to reach, but where customers were getting stuck. That let us adjust our messages so more customers could finish their applications.”

Oregon customers can learn more about the Low-Income Discount program and other bill assistance options, and apply online, at PacificPower.net/Assistance or by calling 1-888-221-7070.

Speelyai Bay Park To Close Due To Low Water Levels, Seawall Replacement - 10/22/26

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
Media hotline: 503-813-6018

Speelyai Bay Park to close due to low water levels, seawall replacement

ARIEL, Wash. (October 22, 2026) — Due to dry conditions and low water levels, the Speelyai Bay Park boat launch will be closing beginning Monday, October 26. The picnic area at Speelyai Bay Park was closed on October 8 to begin construction to replace the seawall. With the picnic area closed through April 2027 and the boat ramp closed due to low water, Speelyai Bay Park will be completely closed beginning Monday, October 26 until further notice.

Each fall, PacifiCorp is required to maintain certain water flows downstream of Merwin Dam to support spawning salmon. To meet the flow requirements under the current conditions, supplemental water must come from PacifiCorp’s project reservoirs. As a result, the Merwin reservoir will be drawn down below boat ramp operational levels. PacifiCorp expects that once seasonal rain significantly increases inflows to the reservoirs, reservoir elevations will allow the reopening of Speelyai Bay Park and boat ramp.

Unfortunately, if dry conditions continue to persist, other recreation impacts may be observed at Yale Park. For updates, please visit our Washington website.
