PSO Rate Adjustment Request
Case No. PUD 2025-000075
$597 Million Rate Increase Proposed
PSO is seeking a $597 million rate increase "to recover increased business costs and electric infrastructure investments." For a Residential Service customer using 1,100 kWh/month, approval of PSO's proposal would result in a total bill increase of approximately 15%, or approximately $25 per month.
PSO is also seeking changes to its tariff defining customer classes for large load customers. It is our understanding that if special rates are approved for the smelter, they will be approved in this case.
