| UE 435-100 | 3/2/2024 11:23:28 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Robert | Richards | BEAVERTON | I am disappointed to hear of PGE request to change rates. While I sympathize with the challenges that our country has faced due to inflation, I cannot believe that this change is warranted. We are seeing record numbers of solar installations, with lower costs, longer life of cells, and ultimately a cheaper KWH/hr cost than more traditional sources such as coal or natural gas. Where is PGE spending this additional money and what oversight do we have of this privatized monopoly? Where do we see these funds going and how is PGE a justified as the single source supplier for these changes? This little oversight is not tolerated in the defense industry or other government contracts; why is it allowed here? PGE should have to provide a bid to keep their contract with us, and it should be open to a competitive bid process. We should not be held to whims of this monopoly, they should provide value to us, they should be competing to lower rates compared to what others would offer. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-101 | 3/2/2024 11:29:55 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Julie | Ramos | PORTLAND | Enough already. This would be the third rate hike in three years. Three years ago my rates varied from $30-$125, currently $60-$175, and now they want another request. As a retired person living on fixed income and my whole house dependent on electricity, I can't afford this continued increases. My income is a few hundred dollars over the eligibility requirements for financial assistance. Here in Portland all utilities increased - garbage, water, electricity. The CEO of PGE makes $51.2 million/year yet they keep raising the rates. Perhaps instead of increasing the rates they should decrease her salary. I can not believe that this greed and excess is allowed while the public has to bear the brunt of improvement and stabilization of services. This is criminal. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-103 | 3/2/2024 11:42:26 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | BEAVERTON | Another PGE rate hike in 2025, on top of a HUGE rate hike in 2024 and previous rate hikes in 2023 and 2022, would make our electricity rates 42% more than they were just 3 years ago. That’s unconscionable. Our income has not gone up in that time. Inflation is high, but it’s not 42% in 3 years high. And I have zero choice as a consumer but to pay these rates. PGE is a monopoly, and if the PUC is doing its job it would be looking out for consumers. Right now, it’s letting PGE run wild with rate increases for superfluous improvements. The battery upgrades are not necessary at this point in time. Give consumers a year break. I strongly oppose this rate increase. | ||||

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

Affordable heat and cooling must be viewed as a human right and raising rates more will force many to choose between heat exhaustion, freezing and other necessities such as food. | ||||

I am a Washington County resident and a PGE customer. We have no choice in providers or vote in rate increases. PGE's commitment to improve existing infrastructure and rectify regular outages is profoundly underwhelming. If PGE's claim that the legislature, via HB 2021, has literally forced them to raise rates more than 40% since 2020, then please publicly let us all know so we can direct outrage in that direction, too.

At what point is it enough? It feels crazy to have to point out how unreasonable these utility hikes are. If competition was allowed and we had a choice, or if the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, that might be different. But instead, the utility is very healthy, and prioritizing returns over customers. Please remember that families are already struggling, and these rate hikes have incredibly real repercussions when it comes to people choosing a/c and heat. Consumers don't have a choice, but luckily, PGE doesn't either. They have to take the deal they make with the county. Grow a backbone and stand up to them, for us.

| UE 435-110 | 3/2/2024 4:03:18 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Liam | Compton | LAKE OSWEGO | I strongly disagree with PGE rate hike. We have been getting rates hikes every year for no discernible improvement in service. I live in lake Oswego and the storm we had seemingly caught PGE off guard despite the crazy amounts of warning. I'm not saying that they are responsible for a weather event but it is literally their sole job to keep the power on and we already got a rate increase at the beginning of this year. They are proposing that they're going to be using this money for batteries, but I really don't have much faith in PGE at this point. We really should not allow this corporation to squeeze money out of the pockets of the people. I understand they have programs for people living in low income situations and that's great but it doesn't really affect that many people in the grand scheme of things. What we need to do right now is either look for ways to transition PGE into being a public utility or we need to find ways to keep the cost of electricity down as it really feels like we are just being squeezed dry for the sake of lining some pockets. | ||

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-111 | 3/2/2024 4:28:43 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Melanie | Fletcher | SHERIDAN | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Sheridan, living at 14619 SW Gopher Valley Road, I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Lastly, consumers of essential utilities generally do not have a choice of provider. Unfortunately, I do not have the option to choose a different provider of electric services and "vote with my dollars" like I do with literally every other service I use. It is vital that any increase in rates be carefully reviewed to ensure that it's fair to consumers and does not impact consumers negatively without any benefits. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

| UE 435-113 | 3/2/2024 5:50:06 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Joseph | Kirk | PORTLAND | I find it distressing that such increases are being proposed, particularly considering the economic challenges faced by many individuals and families in our city. It is evident that these rate hikes will place a significant burden on a large portion of Portland's population, especially those who already struggle to make ends meet on modest incomes. Many hardworking individuals in our community barely earn a decent wage and find it increasingly difficult to afford basic necessities, let alone the additional financial strain that higher utility bills will bring. For countless Portlanders, affordable housing is already a pressing issue, with rent prices continuously rising beyond the reach of many. Adding further financial pressure through increased utility costs will only exacerbate the situation, forcing individuals and families to make impossible choices between paying for essential services like electricity and meeting other critical needs such as housing, food, and healthcare. Moreover, these rate hikes disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including low-income households, seniors, and individuals with disabilities who are already marginalized in our society. It is imperative that any decisions regarding rate increases take into account the broader socioeconomic impact on the most vulnerable members of our community. As a responsible and community-minded utility provider, Portland General Electric has a duty to consider the well-being of all its customers, especially those who are most financially vulnerable. I urge you to reevaluate the proposed rate hikes and explore alternative solutions that prioritize affordability and equity. This may include seeking efficiencies within the company's operations, exploring renewable energy options, and advocating for policies that support fair utility pricing for all. Failure to do so will only deepen the economic hardships faced by many in our city and undermine the principles of community solidarity that we hold dear. | ||

| UE 435-115 | 3/2/2024 9:38:02 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Jesse | Lawrence | GRESHAM | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of the greater Portland area, living in Gresham, I have been a customer of PGE for years, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE wanting another price rate increase . This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians and this news comes immediately after a recent rate increase. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration given the recent problems we've already dealt with. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. That said, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. Doubly so as we as consumers lack much choice in who supplies our energy needs. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago.

Now with the last few increases power is unaffordable to many, and by their intent it is to make PGE and its investors happy. I am not allowed to choose my power company, I am not allowed to make my choice with my dollar to help PGE improve itself in any way, I have no say in the management of a private company that overpays its employees, and ignores needed public safety and infrastructure. Now they want us to take another 7% of our income and dedicate it to them.....no thanks! Spend what you already make on needed infrastructure improvements and safety upgrades and stop pissing more money away for pet projects that sound "green". Have them start proving that they want to be a power supplier that understands basic economics. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago.

The reopening of the clean vehicle rebate program between April and June of 2024 is applaudable. Unfortunately for people who already own electric vehicles and who live in multi-family dwellings including condominiums, apartments etc. built before a certain year when the requirement to include charging station infrastructure in those started, are still not likely to benefit from a rebate of the cost buying an electric vehicle. The cost to install charging stations and the cost of energy to charge an electric vehicle from our local electric companies is cost prohibitive, including from Portland General Electric, who just raised their rates by 18% and are wanting to raise them again by another 7%. Until the state of Oregon rewards lower income residents who live in multi family dwellings built before electric vehicle ev charging infrastructure was required with rebates commensurate with the cost of installing charging stations and using them the state of Oregon will not truly be supporting electric vehicles usage.

We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-124 | 3/4/2024 2:02:10 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Philip | Munson | BEAVERTON | I am a customer of PGE since I moved to Oregon in 2011. In 2017, I joined the Time-of-Use plan with PGE to maximize my solar panel savings, reduce overall electricity costs (especially due to EV charging), and reduce the impact to the grid. For 2024, I have been hit disproportionately hard by the increase of PGE's rates. And this continues even more into 2025. Although this affects only ~1% of PGE customers, we are the ones that are doing more than anyone else to reduce the impact to the grid during peak times. During such times, PGE is needing to buy much more expensive electricity. With our efforts to shift our usage to mid or off-peak, we are not only improving the grid performance, but also allowing PGE to save significant amounts of money. For my data, I present my general usage of energy by peak times over 2023 and show the impact of PGE's rate increases. My off-peak usage accounts for 74%, mid-peak 13% and on-peak 13% with a total usage of 9362kWh. * With 2024 rate increases for Time of Use, this nets a 37% increase for off-peak, 27% increase for mid-peak and a 26% increase for on-peak. This is a net of 34% energy cost increase. * In 2024, PGE also announced a new Time of Day plan to replace Time of Use and Time of Use will expire by the end of 2024. On this new Time of Day plan in 2024, my rates vs 2023 would net a 123% increase for off-peak, 5% reduction for mid-peak, and an 88% increase of on-peak. This is a net increase of 101%. That means my costs will have doubled! Who approved this?? * Time of Day 2024 compared to 2024 Time of Use rates, this is a 63% increase for off-peak, 25% reduction for mid-peak, and 48% increase for on-peak with a net increase of 49%. * For 2025 suggested Time of Day rates, this becomes even more disproportionately high for off-peak usage. Compare to 2023 Time of Use rates, this will be an increase of 190% for off-peak, 3% for mid-peak, and 87% for on-peak. For a net increase of 152%! * 2025 Time of Day compared to 2024 Time of Use sees a 112% increase for off-peak, 19% reduction in mid-peak and a 48% increase for on-peak, for a net increase of 86%. * 2025 Time of Day compared to 2024 Time of Day sees a 30% increase for off-peak, 8% increase in mid-peak, and a 0% increase for on-peak, for a net increase of 23%. As you can see, because of my high off-peak usage, I am hit disproportionately hard by their rate changes. And the purpose of these plans are to move customers away from mid and on-peak towards off-peak. It is easiest enough to say that "overall, customers will only see an increase of 7.4%", but the 1% of customers that are doing their part are getting overlooked and their rates are increasing by an inordinate amount. Please do something about this. PGE should not be allowed to increase these rates so significantly. Also, if PGE wants to increase the number of customers that will help with grid reliance and saving costs during peak times, they need to provide a more reasonable rates for customers on Time of Use and Time of Day. In addition, EV charging is becoming more popular and will have a bigger impact to the grid. If PGE and Oregon want to support more EV vehicles and EV charging at home, then they need to look closely at these rates that are attempting to shift usage away from peak times. With rates as high as they will be for 2025, there will be very little incentive for customers to stay/join Time of Day rate plans. Not only is a strict schedule (and corresponding inconvenience) required to ensure you don’t incur high costs during on-peak, there will always be energy usage during on-peak. No one can cut out 100% of their usage and shift everything to off-peak. | ||

I am a low income individual, and I am on a very limited budget and these increases on top of the ones that were approved for 2024, which was too high, is not right. The discounts they offer are NOT enough to help and people are finding themselves with having to choose between heat or food. Wages and incomes are not going up like its reported at least not compared to these increases and the "discounts for low-income households" isn't high enough to even help. I think PGE should eat the cost of any upgrades or other technologies they want to implement. That is a choice not a federal requirement, at least not I am aware of, therefore they should eat the cost and customers shouldn't be forced to absorb it. The impact on people's incomes and abilities to pay and keep heat in their homes should be taken in consideration more than any profit they could make off of it and I am not the only one who believes that the increases they implemented this year was WAY TOO HIGH. | ||

| UE 435-125 | 3/4/2024 3:38:32 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Justin | Luther | PORTLAND | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland, I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

| UE 435-126 | 3/4/2024 4:53:13 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Tess | McCoskey | NEWBERG | March 4, 2024 Re: Portland General Electric – Rate Hike Increase for 2025 Dear Oregon Public Utilities Commission: As a senior citizen and Portland General Electric customer, I want to record my strong opposition to the proposed rate increase by Portland General Electric for 2025 for any amount. As you are aware, the following increases have already been approved for this utility: 8% in 2022 (34.4% + 8% = 42.4%) 9% in 2023 (25.4% + 9% = 34.4%) 18% in 2024 (7.4% + 18% = 25.4%) With the proposed increase of 7.4% in 2025, that will bring the total increase in our rate pricing to a whopping 42.4% at a time when there are exorbitant increases on everything from food, services, other goods, healthcare, utilities, etc. This unconscionable rate increase request tantamount to extortion and exorbitant give the last increase of 18% along with the most recent multiple rate increases. . The recent rate increases are devastating and doing immense damage to the current living standard and quality of life for all Oregonians not to mention seniors in general. I, along with my neighbors and friends here in Newberg and locally cannot comprehend the justification for the raising of the rates just shortly out of the crushing pandemic and while our inflation rates on everything are so very high. To top it off, Maria Pope, the CEO of Portland General Electric is recorded as receiving $6,256,599 in total compensation in 2022, which I am certain is has vastly increased since that date. Instead of requesting more money, the company should be cutting back on their expenditures like their own pay increase, Green/Renewable Energy, and EV programs. I ask that you please reject Portland General Electric’s request for the rate increase. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Tess McCoskey Newberg, OR | ||

| UE 435-128 | 3/5/2024 6:08:02 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Chris | Riddell | PORTLAND | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland, living at 2114 SE Hemlock Ave, Portland, OR 97214, I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

With increased rates for Pacific Power, and the increased cost of food and rent, the cumulative effect for senior citizens and low income Oregonians is not sustainable. I would hope that rather than low income individuals applying for utility discounts, that PGE and other utilities would exempt any Oregon customer who qualifies for SNAP benefits. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Continuing to raise rates at a ratio that is FAR above cost of living and necessary is unconscionable. With skyrocketing costs that do not equitably benefit customers, we are continuing to add to the divide between rich and poor. A 30% raise in 2 years is absolutely ludicrous. PGE has already been given far more than is necessary to cover the improvements they are making. Stop giving in to their unreasonable demands and put the people first. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

They already got one, and it's been devastating. Everyone I know was horrified by their increased energy bills this year. The average person's wallet is already strained right now, between out-of-control grocery prices, rent increases, and employers refusing to give anyone enough hours to live on. My family is struggling financially. We can't possibly "save energy" any more than we already are, and we can't possibly "save money" on anything else. There are no frivolities left to cut. We don't have streaming services or cable TV. We don't go out to eat anymore. We have the cheapest internet and phone service we can get that meets our work needs. We can barely afford basic necessities. Yes, we know about their income-qualified discount-- it barely helps at all. It is PGE's turn to be more responsible with their money. Please don't let them hurt us even more. | ||

If a company has government permission to be a monopoly, there needs to be strict laws for how they operate.

| UE 435-132 | 3/2/2024 8:38:37 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Mel | Zillick | PORTLAND | I can’t believe that the state is continuing to consider rate hikes by PGE and PAC. 3 days ago PGE made what looked like a reach out to help low income homes, then the very next day they announced asking for a significant rate hike. So the low income reach was simply a marketing strategy. By continuing to approve these you are pushing more people to the financial edge. I work with low to moderate income communities and I also work with the utilities. This winter some residents have experienced $400-600 per month electricity increases. Someone that I know that has a completely natural gas home and completely insulated, is married with 2 kids and still experience’s $400 winter bills. Why are you putting these electric changes all on the laps of the people? Yes we need to change the grid, yet the federal and state governments should be addressing this and stop making all of us poorer through utilities greed. A lot of people are now starting to say that they are sticking to natural gas or switching back over. That is turning us in the opposite direction. Please stop these increases! | ||

How many folks do you want to put on the street before you stop this absurdity. Yes, this will put more people out on the street. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. I strongly believe that infrastructure changes need to be made as we move into a new world. PGE needed to start making those changes years ago. Did they? No!! Now they wantrare payers to foot the bill. No more rate increases on rate payers backs. Honestly, if I could consistently generate enough power from my solar panels I’d go off the grid. At this point in time I can’t. And this leads me to another issue on cuts on the credits we who have solar panels that PGE wants to make. My understanding is that pge is intimating that the credits aren’t worth the amount that pge is paying to us for them. If this were true it would have always been the case and they would never have given us the amount that they do. Those credits are worth every kilowatt that we earn. They are most likely worth more than waht we earn. My stand is that pge miscalculated and now they want rate payers to pay the costc. Pge needs to eat the cost and they also don’t get to reduce the price we get for our solar credits. And they need to manage much better than they do. Stop catering to pge.

| UE 435-1345 | 3/30/2024 10:55:25 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | chuck | f | BEAVERTON | increased pge rates could possibly lead to more illnesses as people will likely try to shut off or reduce heat due to high rates. more property damage from frozen pipes in the winter as renters will go some place warm and leave the heaters off at there apartments-property managers will raise rent further to pay for these repair costs. increased pge rates further radicalism towards or opposing the 1%-pge customers don't care about making pge shareholder investors happy when there customers can barely pay there bills. renters or homeowners will risk property damage or safety by bringing in portable fireplaces or kerosene heaters to create heat to get around high energy bills. there will be more apartment and home fires from increased energy bills-more taxing on emergency services. renters will likely shut panel breakers often to reduce bills which will likely blow out appliances causing property managers to raise rent rates to pay for damages-perhaps homeowners will do this as well and blow through costly low life appliances that are monopolized by a slow migration from china as well that could take several months before they are replaced. | ||

Doesnt seem fair to raise rates for consumers to pay indefinitely so pge can invest and make more profit from using consumers money to do so. | ||||

Dear Public Comments Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to comment on the Portland General Electric rate case (UE 435). As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

One example of cost-saving measures that could be implemented: With all the radical tree trimming PGE has undertaken, where is the coordination with Cityof Portland to identify and plant trees under the wires that provide shade and oxygen but will not require on-going trimming of all the suckers that grow up each time the previous trimming stressed the tree. Fuel to enter each neighborhood, and to run the chipper, could be greatly reduced by making permanent more logical rules about how to prevent the necessity of these services.

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-141 | 3/2/2024 11:53:19 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Tom | Odgers | PORTLAND | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland, living at 3324 SW Fairmount Blvd, Portland, I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

As a PGE customer, I urge the Commission to dismiss PGE's proposal for a 7.2% rate hike for Oregon households. Many customers are still grappling with the aftermath of January's rate increase and ice storm expenses. PGE's rates for Oregon households have surged by 30% since December 2022. These increases are unsustainable for people already facing financial strain. It's not the time to consider PGE's unjustifiable request for higher bills. We rely on the Commission to intervene and safeguard customers like myself. PGE's request, supposedly for battery storage projects, amounts to $202 million (7.2%), with only a fraction allocated to actual storage. Instead, it appears to be a wish list for management, revisiting issues previously rejected by the Commission. We cannot allow utilities to persistently push for detrimental policies.

I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recently proposed price increases for electricity services in Oregon. It is with a heavy heart that I address this issue, as it marks the second substantial hike in rates within approximately eight months. As a customer of Pacific Power, I have always understood the need for reasonable adjustments to account for operating costs and infrastructure maintenance. However, the proposed increase this time is utterly outrageous and places an undue burden on the residents of our community. Not only are we facing economic uncertainties, but such a sharp increase in utility costs threatens the financial stability of many families and businesses in Oregon. The timing of this hike seems particularly insensitive given the current state of affairs, where every dollar counts for the well-being of our households. It is essential to recognize that these continual rises in rates are not just numbers on a bill; they have real and tangible effects on the lives of your customers. Many of us are forced to make difficult choices between paying increasingly higher bills and meeting other basic necessities, such as food and healthcare. Moreover, this pattern of frequent price hikes erodes the trust that customers have placed in Pacific Power. We rely on their services to be fair, reliable, and considerate of the communities you serve. Yet, these repeated increases without substantial justification undermine this trust and leave us questioning the integrity of the company's practices. I urge you to object to this proposed price increase and to get Pacific Power to engage in transparent communication with their customers about the factors driving these decisions. We deserve a clear explanation of why such a drastic measure is necessary and what alternatives have been explored to mitigate its impact on consumers. In conclusion, I hope that Pacific Power will prioritize the well-being of its customers and the communities it serves over short-term financial gains. Their customers are not merely account numbers but individuals and families striving to make ends meet in an increasingly challenging economic environment. Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns. I eagerly await your response and hope for a resolution that is fair and equitable for all parties involved. Sincerely, Violeta Iguchi - Medford resident ________________________________ | |||||

The cost for power and constant rate increases are insanity! Our bill practically doubled and was over $500 when normally around $300 even though we are using a wood stove and shutting off lights around the house. How anyone can sustain this? PGE is increasing rates every January and I am not sure how seniors are going to handle it. Those living in Portland pay a much higher rates than WA or CA even though we are sitting on hydro power. I feel like Oregonians are being punished. Please stop raising rates every January! | ||

| UE 435-144 | 3/5/2024 9:18:17 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Anthony | Riddick | PORTLAND | Hello, I'm fairly new to Oregon ( 4 years to be exact) and this new proposed 7.4% increase on rates is rather ridiculous. Considering rates with PGE just went up 17% in January which disproportionately affected alot of its customers was hard enough. Is it not OPUC job to protect customers from rates like this? Why is this commission's job not being done? If those on the commission are unable to do their jobs they should be replaced with people who actually can instead of holding on to incompetent and worthless individuals. This is just another reason to leave this state for a place more affordable. GET IT RIGHT OR GET OUT! | ||

| UE 435-1448 | 4/2/2024 1:41:47 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Kevin | Gee | GRAND RONDE | If PGE intends to increase their rates then they first should be required to either trim the trees out of their lines OR bury the lines so that we don't have outages everytime the wind blows a measly 10 mph. We are constantly without power and lots of times it is not just for 1 day but for much longer than necessary. It was only last year or the year before we were without power for 10 days in my area. This is not acceptable and we cannot even access emergency services when this occurs. The response times for things like this are severely lacking. It is PGEs responsibility to take care of their lines if they are to use them for doing business and charging people. It is not up to residents to foot the bill for maintaining THEIR equipment. It is quite frankly the cost of doing business and as a business owner myself I have several costs of conducting business myself such as credit card processing fees and other things. PGE is not exempt from paying their OWN cost of business expenses just the same as ANY other business entity on this planet. They are not above the laws or above paying for their own expenses. So, until they can do something about continued outages, slow response times to outages and paying for their own equipment maintenance and expenses? NO to their requested increases. Trim the trees OR bury the lines. It's time to spend the money to do that and then you won't have all of the expenses for repairs. Use your brain and upkeep your equipment and take care of YOUR business and stop expecting citizens to do it and take care of your business for you. Thanks. | ||

| UE 435-145 | 3/2/2024 12:11:32 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Daniel | Miller | PORTLAND | Regarding HB 2021: Hopefully by now it has been heard by someone of the PUC that the PGE rate hikes have been severely impacting Oregonians. This coupled with sensational headlines of heads of PGE receiving year-over-year bonus increases in the millions, totally unustified in the wake of extreme rate hikes. The gall of those so greedy and of those who rubber-stamp such moves is appalling. But here we are, paying so much more with even greater hikes being threatened. Looking at the bill, there's one portion I want to bring attention to, a portion which seems to run against these rate hikes: "decarbonize their retail electricity sales by 2040 with consideration for benefits to local communities." Understanding what "consideration" means here, clearly that's to refer to the near-future benefits of being carbon-free; what is not being understood or interpreted is "consideration for the benefit of local communities" NOW. To approve a private monopoly outrages pay increase while the impose outrages fee hikes is NOT "consideration for benefits of local communities," it's TOTAL DISREGARD of the benefit of local communities. To sign off on rate hikes and CEO payouts is an abdication of any duty the PUC may have been heated in Relieve the tax payers and utility-paying members of communities you claim to represent. Make the greedy heads of PGE return their bonuses and investbthosebfunds in infrastructure. Stop increasing rates while increasing payouts. This comment will hopefully find at least one sympathetic ear, though probably unlikely considering the callous actions of the PUC. No accountability and everyone lining their pockets. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago.

Its emotionally and financially difficult. We are angry and tired. Many PGE customers are low income or are not able to get help because our wages are just over what is allowed for financial help.

| UE 435-149 | 3/2/2024 12:52:20 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Melinda | Hasting Baker | PORTLAND | I am writing to express opposition to the aggressive rate increases by Portland General Electric. I am a Portland resident (address redacted) and a PGE customer. We have no choice in providers, or vote in rate increases. PGE's commitment to improve existing infrastructure and rectify regular outages is profoundly underwhelming. If PGE's claim that the legislature, via HB 2021, has literally forced them to raise rates more than 40% since 2020, then please publicly let us all know so we can direct outrage in that direction, too. I hope the Commission can scrutinize PGE's compensation structure for executives and shareholders, particularly during a time when everyday people are trying to bounce back economically from the pandemic. Thanks for your service to the community, and I hope you will think of the consumers as you deliberate PGE's proposal. | ||

I am a PGE customer in Southeast Portland, and I am writing to urge the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. PGE already took in a tremendous amount of money from their customers during the ice storm, and it was evident from the response to the ice storm power outages that PGE is not using that money for more robust emergency infrastructure or adequate staffing. They have had plenty of time and resources to implement such changes, as PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects, but only about $17 million of that money is allocated for battery storage. The rest of the money is going toward issues the Commission rejected just months ago, and toward padding the pockets of administrators. This rate hike will disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, disabled, low income and housing insecure Oregonians. We cannot let our most vulnerable community members keep falling victim to bad utilities policy. I am calling on the Commission to dismiss this case and grant the motion submitted by Oregon Citizens' Utility Board. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough. Sincerely, Mx.

| UE 435-15 | 2/29/2024 6:17:59 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Kris | Angerano | NEWBERG | Another rate increase for sub par service is not acceptable. Poll the general portland population with electric heat pumps how they feel about another 9% increase on top of the "18%" from last year. The available rebates for low income families is also not available to a retired couple with social security as only income. Yes that is correct, thats like 45k last year, with the rebates at 43k income. As a single family home, my bill will have gone from $150 a month to $210 per month after these increases within 2 years. This is a NO. | ||

They are making record profits and asking for another raise. No rate increase for 2025. Every penny of their increase in profit is taken directly from our pockets. You are either corrupt or inept at doing your job. 41% increase in 4 years? Who is lining your pockets? | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-153 | 3/2/2024 1:44:06 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Michael | Goodman | PORTLAND | Subject: Concerns Regarding Portland General Electric's Rate Increases To the Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding Portland General Electric's recent announcement of rate hikes. As a loyal PGE customer residing in Portland, I rely on their services for my daily needs. The proposed rate increases are troubling, especially considering the economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of evident infrastructure improvements and ongoing power outages without justification intensify my frustration. The absence of substantial service enhancements and persistent power disruptions raise questions about the rationale behind this rate adjustment. It is crucial for PGE to justify any rate increase with improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's rate increase proposal, ensuring it is reasonable, justified, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. Your attention to this matter is vital in protecting consumers who rely on PGE for essential services. I anticipate your response and hope for a favorable resolution in favor of Oregon's utility consumers. Thank you for your advocacy on our behalf. Sincerely, Michael | ||

| UE 435-154 | 3/2/2024 1:48:26 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Melody | Macready | PORTLAND | Rate proposals when wages simply cannot keep up with the rate of inflation are unconscionable. PGE has already raised rates far beyond what is reasonable for anyone below the median household income for Portland proper, let alone those in struggling rural communities. We are already paying sky high rates for property taxes and other utilities. To raise rates at this time will force those barely scraping by to forego basics such as food and medical care, as many are already doing. Many seniors on fixed incomes as well as people with disabilities and other marginalized communities will be hit hardest by this. How can this be justified? If the infrastructure is aging or the renewable energy is not meeting the demand, that is on the company itself to rectify by cutting into their own profit margins. Poor planning and mismanagement should not be passed on to consumers. The rates are already exorbitant AS IS. Please advocate for working class Oregonians by saying no to this rate hike. | ||

PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago.

I am outraged by the proposal to increase the rate, so quickly after the recent rate increase. It seems that the additonal rate increase was planned the entire time. Customers are struggling as it is; many senior citizens, disabled citizens, and families are struggling just to keep their home warm and provide hot water for themselves and you are making it feel like it is a luxury to even keep the electricity on in a home.

| UE 435-157 | 3/2/2024 2:43:32 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Tyler | Dellasega | PORTLAND | The fact that we still are paying a monopolized, private company for electricity in one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states and in 2024 is insane. Abolish PGE and turn it into a public utility. As we just saw with the snow and ice, people cannot live for days or weeks without power. Putting the control of electricity in the hands of a for-profit company instead of the public (like water etc) only allows them to increase the price multiple times, slows response and coordination, and reduces accountability. | ||

| UE 435-1596 | 4/4/2024 10:03:55 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Travis | Teague | HAPPY VALLEY | While it's understandable that Portland General Electric may need to adjust rates to cover increasing operational costs, substantial rate increases can burden customers and undermine economic stability. Such hikes disproportionately affect vulnerable communities, including low-income households and small businesses, exacerbating financial strain. Instead of imposing heavy financial burdens on consumers, PGE should explore alternative strategies such as operational efficiency improvements, renewable energy investments, and seeking out governmental subsidies or grants to mitigate the need for significant rate hikes. This approach ensures that the burden of maintaining a reliable energy supply is shared equitably and responsibly among all stakeholders, without disproportionately impacting those least able to afford it. | ||
| UE 435-1597 | 4/4/2024 7:04:42 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Alice | Smith | PORTLAND | We will freeze and burn thanks to your unconscionable ruling allowing PGE to raise rates when power service is already unaffordable. Under the leadership of Patricia Poope we have had immeasurably harmful changes to policy that have irreparably harmed customers across the board. Those who can choose to use solar energy are now having that resource stolen from them thanks to Poope ending the payback program. Those of us who were living comfortably have been harmfully abused by her excessive rate hikes at a time when rent and groceries have become prohibitively expensive. My bills have risen almost double what they were last year under Poope and still, her greed has no bounds. She wants more. So many families have dropped out of the green energy plan because Poope has made it prohibitively expensive to afford clean energy even after her financially abusive policies have stolen energy from clean energy sources. I am filing complains with federal regulatory commissions requesting a review of this decision and your department’s interests in defrauding Oregonians to enrich PGE shareholders. Shame on you all. | ||

Changing the tariff to people’s detriment is unfair to those that have installed rooftop sysytems, is at odds with Oregon’s push to be more sustainable and will deter future adoption of rooftop solar.

| UE 435-1618 | 4/6/2024 3:14:28 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Patty | Pairan | YAMHILL | My husband and I have lived at the same address for the past 22 years. It is a 110 year old house and over the past 6 years we have upgraded our siding, adding new insulation, installed high end windows, new furnace w/heat pump and new water heater. We were on Equal Pay and our bill went from $150 to $172 per month. That's when we switched to the Time of Day program. I am a stickler when regarding, showers, laundry and cooking, yet our bill is still high. I looked at old PGE bills I had from 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2023 all for the same month time frame. Surprisingly we used less kilowatts in 2013 through 2017 than we are now. That is something I cannot comprehend. I have talked to PGE numerous times and requested out meter to be looked at. Each time they say everything is fine. We are doing everything we can to keep our electric bill low by doing laundry and showers on weekends or before 7am and ALL cooking no later than 4:30pm. Yet I look at the tracking on the PGE website and ALWAYS see higher usage from 6pm-2am. Something is wrong with that. I always turn the heat down so it does not run at night, We have very early hours in the morning so we do not stay up past about 9pm. It is unclear what is happening during the night to use so much energy. No matter what we do we can't get ahead of the game when it comes to our electric bill. | ||
| UE 435-1619 | 4/8/2024 5:45:25 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Nancy | Zwerling | PORTLAND | RE: PGE Rate Increase Request, As a retired senior who lives in Multnomah County, I was unhappy to see a significant rate increase request from PGE since I already pay hundreds of dollars every month in electric bills. My question is what is the companies annual income? Do they have the profits to pay for those services they are asking to be covered by the rate hike? I do not want to pay for, as stated in The Oregonian, "higher profits for shareholders and taking on financial risks for the company". I have found that if there are significant improvements needed on a house or apartment it is the owner (PGE in this case) that pays. To pass it on to the renter ( PGE consumer) without the company first making a significant investment smacks of over charging. PGE calls a '7.4% increase a bold move', I call it gouging. | ||
| UE 435-162 | 3/2/2024 6:46:56 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Juan | Villicana-Chavez | BEAVERTON | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland, living at [insert your address], I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||
| UE 435-1620 | 4/9/2024 4:22:21 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | SALEM | RECEIVED MAR O 8 2024 P.U.C. Letter converted by Consumer Services staff - dr I need you to understand what it is like to be poor right now, because you approved the rate increase for PGE last year, which means that you just... clearly don't. Here's what my life as like, as someone who's just barely scraping by. •The only new clothing I have bought in the last 2 years is underwear, socks, and a few plain t-shirts that were on clearance at Bi-Mart for $3 apiece, •I learned to cut my own hair. •I can't afford cable TV or any other streaming service right now. It's not in the budget. •I keep my home cold all winter and deal with it with blankets. In summer, I just have to suffer as much as I can stand it before I let the AC run. Extreme heat and cold make my chronic pain worse. They're both miserable seasons. •Fast food is a luxury. Nice restaurant food is something I experience maybe once every six months. Food stamps just barely cover what I need for a month and the food prices keep going up, despite what the newspapers say about "inflation easing", •I have the cheapest internet and phone service I can get I have the cheapest EVERYTHING I can get, honestly. •Sometimes I buy a book or a heavily discounted video game that released several years ago. That's as much luxury as I can afford for myself right now. I normally spend less than $30 a month on anything fun. Everything else goes to bills. •Two of my teeth needed crowns years ago. I'm on the Oregon Health Plan, but it only pays for crowns if you're pregnant. There's no way I could possibly afford a crown. Every time I eat, I chew very slowly, trying to delay the inevitability of losing these teeth. •I am living with mold and leaks I can't afford to have repaired. Problems that keep slowly getting bigger the longer they go un-addressed, just like my teeth. •The rent keeps going up. •The price of basic necessities keeps going up. •Every time my wages increase, it's immediately negated by something else getting more expensive. •I am scared. •I am always scared. •I am never not scared. I'm in PGE's relief program for low-income Oregonians, but that bill is still brutal all summer and all winter. I already use LED bulbs. I already unplug things I'm not using. There is nothing else I can give up. There is nowhere else I can cut back. There is no other public program that will help me. I've looked again and again. Nobody else will help me, because I have no children and I'm not the right kind of disabled. Please do not allow PGE to increase their rates again in 2025. Please tell them no. Please. Please. Please. Please. I might be able to scrape by for a while begging on the internet for donations and getting help from friends and family, but others won't. For some people, this will be what tips them into horrific situations, like living without power or losing their homes. We don't have a strong safety net. You can't just assume that people will figure it out and land safely. Please don't hurt us any more. Please, please, please spare us from another cruel increase. The working poor have already given up enough. Please don’t let them hurt us. | ||||

| UE 435-1627 | 4/10/2024 7:52:19 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | John | Movius | PORTLAND | These rate hikes, proposed on top of existing recent rate hikes, are unreasonable and working families feel the squeeze. In a time of inflation and wage stagnation, with Portland metro area becoming increasingly unaffordable to middle class people, extreme rate hikes in two years are absurdly out of touch. Rate hikes in any business or utility are to be expected, especially after COVID inflation. But rate hikes at this level are extreme and would only be possible with a monopoly who give consumers no other choice. Unethical, unreasonable. No one I have spoken with -- in my neighborhood, peer group, clients, family members, friends, coworkers -- supports these absurd rate increases! | ||

| UE 435-163 | 3/2/2024 7:27:28 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Brent | Gillett | PORTLAND | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland, living at [insert your address], I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers | ||

I implore the Oregon Public Utilities Commission, as the regulation entity responsible for approving electric rate increases for Oregon, to read this letter of opposition in its entirety as we have already been hit with significant rate increases and now face the prospect of yet another massive rate increase. Rates were relatively reasonable a few years ago however the recent rate increases I have seen my weighted average kWh rate double when including fees and other charges when dividing out the total kWh power consumption. This not only makes it difficult to run a business, but also more difficult to attract new and existing businesses to Oregon. The cost of doing business has increased dramatically since Q4 of 2022 and today, April 19th, 2024. We have seen rate increase after increase after increase, which is very frustrating and costly as much of these rate increases are being spurred by speculation and outside pressures from California and potential regulatory action that may occur in the future. The ripple effect of high electricity rates affects all aspects of life and our local economies, including increased costs for food, housing, transportation, and all other segments as increased energy costs deeply impact all aspects of businesses and our community. The cost of doing business has become too high in Oregon and another massive rate hike by PGE and Pacific Power is sure to drive businesses out of Oregon altogether. While the cost of doing business has risen, we have seen a positive trend in the adoption and implementation of energy efficient homes, appliances, industrial systems and more. Improving infrastructure is a priority but it’s unfair and abnormal for energy to be the ONLY industry seeing non-stop double digit rate increases on a continuous basis. Electricity is a modern basic necessity and without it we are unable to keep fresh food refrigerated, cook, and heat/cool our homes. Virtually all businesses cannot operate without electricity. From the information I have seen provided by power companies it appears there is a substantial amount of money to be made selling power to neighboring states at higher rates and PGE and Pacific Power appear to be speculating that upstream providers will be selling power at higher rates in the future and they are simply trying to hedge potential regulatory costs, unrealistic green power projects, and future rate increases by price gauging rate payers today for speculative future costs which may or may not come to fruition. Current rates are too high today and unaffordable for most people. This last winter was the most costly power bills I have ever experienced. Additional rate hikes are premature and unfair, especially as corporate spending has crossed the threshold of wanton waste with sports arenas naming rights and other marketing mis-spends as these entities operate within designated territory with zero competition. These hikes are nothing more than a money grab for corporate entities for parent companies like Berkshire Hathaway (92% ownership stake in Pacific Power) which is an unfair burden for rate payers. These power companies seem to believe the sky is the limit and they can charge whatever they want to, while realistically they need to be more fiscally responsible, invest in smart infrastructure during repair and replacement cycles, and minimize the various ‘green’ projects that are ineffective and inefficient. I strongly encourage you to implement a rate freeze and deny Pacific Power and PGE’s requests for jacking up our rates even higher, to where irreparable harm will be done to rate payers. Thank you for your attention in this matter and consideration. Best Regards, Levi Manselle | ||

| UE 435-167 | 3/2/2024 9:41:28 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Heather | Lagaso | GERVAIS | Subject: Urgent Concerns Regarding Portland General Electric Rate Increases Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the recent announcement of rate hikes by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland at [insert your address], I have been a loyal PGE customer, relying on their services for my daily needs. The decision to increase pricing rates, especially by over 40% since 2021, is particularly disheartening, overlooking the economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, including myself. This significant surge is especially devastating for families already struggling to meet basic needs such as rent, food, and medical costs. Adding to my frustration is the apparent lack of substantial infrastructure improvements or justifications for such an increase. Despite these proposed rate hikes, residents, myself included, continue to endure frequent power outages, raising questions about the rationale behind imposing a heavier financial burden on consumers without tangible service enhancements. The absence of evident improvements in service delivery and infrastructure, combined with persistent power disruptions, heightens concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is imperative for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any rise in rates corresponds with substantial improvements in service quality, reliability, and overall customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urgently appeal to the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly scrutinize PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is crucial to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, grounded in concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic strain on Oregon residents. I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a comprehensive review of the implications of these rate increases, especially for consumers like myself, who rely on PGE for essential services. Your commitment to advocating for Oregon's utility consumers is highly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and efforts in addressing this pressing issue. | ||

| UE 435-1685 | 4/25/2024 11:04:28 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Mary | Fitzgerald | SANDY | I do not support PGE's proposed rate increase. 1) Citizen ratepayers need a clear yet detailed presentation as to the need for any rate increase. I have yet find a concise executive summary that would allow me to make substantial comments regarding the need for this. Hence, citizens are primarily making "enough is enough" comments that the OPUC can largely dismiss. I ask that you provide a concise executive summary beyond PGE's pretty one page graphic found on their web page. 2) While most PGE employees are solid, the company performance is not without significant hiccups (ie beyond poor storm response communication). Some issues can be solved without throwing more money at it. I don't see that PGE is trying to improve their product where they can do so without asking for higher rates. Again. - see #1 above. 3) I see the contract arborist crews are treating the same sections over and over again in the same year. It sure seems to lack efficiency. These crews must be working on a day rate vs bidding the job. How is PGE making their vegetation management cost effective? What is the vegetation management costing PGE? How does the OPUC determine if their costs are reasonable to justify a rate increase? 4) its unreasonable to stomach a rate increase when the information on PGE's investor pages show "proven dividend growth". For those of us without the means to make significant financial investments, I wish our service area was customer owned co-op or a PUD where we could vote for the board members. We are stuck with PGE. 5) Finally - my story. I live in 1,000 ft sq home built in 1994. I heat primarily with a pellet stove with a ductless heat pump being my other source of heat. In January this year I had my highest bill ever. What was particularly concerning was that I was visiting friends out of town for two weeks of that month so my heat pump was set at 55F or lower and my water heater was turned off. No lights. I unplugged energy draining devises. Just a refrigerator and the heat pump going. During one of the weeks that I was home, was the power outage for 5 days. So I was only using a "normal" amount of power for about 10-12 days yet my bill was the highest its ever been. I have called the Energy Trust of Oregon for ideas to reduce my usage - they basically said that I was doing it all other than one appliance upgrade. | ||

| UE 435-169 | 3/3/2024 5:14:37 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Rebecca | Hoffman | TROUTDALE | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Troutdale I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates in 2025 in addition to their recent increase this year. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. I myself am elderly and on a fixed income. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

As documented by news reports and their own press releases and public statements, PGE has had record profits, including their leadership who directly benefits, so to think that somehow that has nothing to do with their outrageous price increases is to ignore the facts at hand. 12% price increase in January 2023 and another price increase in January this year is hurting Oregonians who are already overly taxes and burdened in this poor economic climate, in comparison to the rest of the country. This type of activity is not sustainable. PGE needs to explore what they can do to reduce expenses to fulfill their obligations to the public. Since they have no competition in the market and operate as a monopoly,.Oregon and the commission overseeing these type of rate hikes must play a more aggressive role in curtailing bad business behavior. Their profit levels should not be what they are if they truly need to increase rates. If this was any other industry we wouldn't even be debating this fact. | ||

I work for a large company in Portland and all of our departments had to come up with 5% budget cuts. Each department had to deal with these cuts, and could do as they see fit. Some departments cut wages, others hours...etc. At this point with the crazy utility fees, taxes and costs associated in Portland this PGE increase has pushed us to work on a plan to leave Oregon within 2-3 years. Oregon is going to have more and more homeless people requiring services and less people who work to pay for them. If I ever become destitute and unemployed in whatever place we move to I'll move back to Oregon for all the freebies they give out and subsidies for utilities etc. The working people's backs are breaking in Oregon and PGE is part of the problem. How about cutting all PGEs administration salaries by 5% and I'm sure they will have the money not to increase fees. | ||

As a customer, I find the average 7.4% rate hike for 2025 deeply concerning. While I understand that PGE cites reasons such as modernizing the grid and enhancing reliability, the impact on consumers cannot be overlooked. As a resident, I rely on PGE for essential services, and any significant increase in rates directly affects my household budget. Reasons for Concern: Reliability Enhancement: PGE’s investment in local Battery Energy Storage System projects is commendable. However, the burden of these upgrades should not disproportionately fall on customers. We need assurance that these investments will indeed enhance reliability and prevent outages. Growing Customer Needs: Modernizing the grid to meet customer needs is essential. However, transparency is crucial. How will these enhancements benefit individual customers? Will they lead to more stable service during extreme weather events? Hydro, Wind, and Plant Improvements: While maintaining and modernizing generation facilities is vital, customers deserve clarity on how these improvements translate into long-term benefits. How will these investments directly impact our bills? Community Impact: PGE’s role extends beyond profit. It impacts our communities, especially vulnerable households. The Commission must consider the social implications of rate increases. Recommendations: Transparency: PGE should provide detailed information on how each investment directly benefits customers. Transparency builds trust. Mitigation Measures: Consider measures to mitigate the impact on low-income households. Can PGE offer targeted assistance or discounts? Customer Engagement: Involve customers in decision-making. Public hearings are essential, but ongoing dialogue ensures better outcomes. In conclusion, I urge the Commission to scrutinize PGE’s proposal rigorously. Let us strike a balance between PGE’s needs and the well-being of Oregonians. Our voices matter, and I hope you will consider them in your decision-making process. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

However, this routine-sounding rate case reflects larger societal forces shaping the future of electricity production, distribution and equitable access. As state regulators evaluate PGE's request, they must wrestle with the compounding impacts of climate policy, the explosive growth of energy-intensive technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), and the conflicting incentives of private equity investor ownership over a critical public utility. Their decision will have ramifications far beyond this single rate hike, signaling Oregon's priorities for maintaining affordable and sustainable electricity as a bedrock of economic prosperity and societal wellbeing. The Mounting Tolls on Residential Ratepayers For Oregon households and small businesses, the strain is already becoming untenable. PGE's proposed 7.5% increase follows an 18% rate spike only this January and another 12% hike the year prior. As the nonprofit Oregon Citizens' Utility Board highlighted in their motion to dismiss this latest proposal, residential customers are reeling from these compounded shocks atop other inflationary pressures. The accumulated burden portends an affordability crisis in which electricity's costs potentially spiral out of reach for many. For essential utilities providing the lifeblood of the modern economy, such a trend raises profound equity issues. Exacerbating this dynamic, the rate hikes' cross-subsidization heavily favors large commercial and industrial energy users. PGE's proposal imposes over 20% cumulative increases on households while limiting hikes to just 10-14% for big businesses, manufacturers and the tech industry. While differing costs-to-serve each customer class justify some discrepancies, a near doubling of rates for households versus corporations appears disproportionately imbalanced. PGE counters that these expenditures across new wind farms, grid upgrades, wildfire mitigation and more are necessitated by Oregon's vanguard policy goals. In 2021, the state passed a law requiring utilities to fully decarbonize by 2040, with an interim 80% emissions cut by 2030. So, argues PGE, massive infrastructure overhauls are unavoidable to replace fossil generation with clean sources and energy storage on this legally-binding timeline. This logic holds some validity. Being national pioneers in transitioning from carbon-intensive electricity requires enormous anticipating investments that mature utilities will pass onto consumers. Ambitious policymaker mandates come with unavoidable costs consumers must share - assuming ratepayer cost allocations match principles of affordability, equity and environmental stewardship. However, scrutinizing PGE's incentives and capital allocation strategies raises doubts over whether this utility is prudently prioritizing investments for the public interest. Accusations from consumer advocates that PGE is pursuing an 'all of the above' business approach devoid of disciplined weighing of trade-offs or optimizing ratepayer value demands investigation. A utility presenting itself as simply needing to bankroll anything tangentially attached to the energy transition acts more as an opportunistic profit-seeker than a judicious guardian of the public energy commons. The Corrupting Influence of Private Equity Ownership One factor potentially skewing PGE's motivations away from the public good is its ownership structure. An eye-popping 62% equity stake is held not by ratepayers or the public sector, but by private investment funds solely extracting profits over short-term holding periods before exiting. Such concentrated financial control over an essential infrastructure by entities legally obligated to maximize returns above all other considerations represents an inherent conflict with affordable electricity accessibility. Private equity's insidious impacts on electricity affordability have been extensively documented. From 2012-2021, America's investor-owned utilities doubled capital expenditures on costly fossil fuel projects while clean energy investments stagnated. During this same period, private funds amassed over $100 billion in utility holdings. One egregious example saw two private equity firms deliberately shut Ohio's last nuclear plant simply to boost revenues at grid-destabilizing coal plants they controlled while ratepayers absorbed the resulting cost spikes. Nationwide evidence shows private equity taking operational control and imposing austerity through layoffs, rateDeaper analysis is warranted into whether PGE's spending plans truly align with prudent grid modernization investments apportioned equitably. Or if instead they reflect unbounded investment appetites distorted by private equity return-on-equity dictates that canethics and affor | |||||

My primary opposition is due to the level of rate increase foisted onto individual customers in comparison to the main utility users, large corporate industrial customers. This, and the condescending and idiotic recommendations to those of us carrying the burden, to turn off our lights and unplug our devices when not in use, as if that’s going to make a $40-$100 difference in our bills and our environment. Can we all do something to conserve energy? OF COURSE, and everyone one of us should. And yet when we do our part, as residential customers living on single or maybe double salaries that are documented to have less buying power now than in the past, and still get increasing rates and we’re told it’s our fault, it’s insulting beyond measure and creates distrust and bad blood. | ||

It's unfortunate for utility customers that there is no way to introduce competition into the market. Without any competition PGE has been able to steadily increase rates well beyond the rate of inflation. PGE continues to put the stranglehold on it's customers with no remorse. The people around here are unwilling victims of rape in the form of a company doing whatever they want without giving a damn about those they serve. They invest in too many green programs that don't pay off just so they can appease a low emissions agenda that doesn't make sense. We already were getting most of our electricity from green sources so how can they justify all this new spending that they pass on to their customers? Normally when a large company or corporation wants to grow or add new technology they "invest" using their own capital with the promise of it paying off in the long run. PGE knows what they're doing is not cost effective so they punish the customers with outrageous rate increases on back to back to back years. Hopefully the public utilities commission will see what's going on and take the side of the people of the state, their neighbors, friends,and taxpayers versus letting PGE continue to walk all over everyone unchallenged and unfazed.

As a resident of Portland, living at [insert your address], I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

As a resident of Portland, living at 3324 SW Fairmount Blvd, Portland, I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||

| UE 435-202 | 3/4/2024 7:55:50 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Seth | Arnold | PORTLAND | Hello, I'm writing about PGE's requests to raise their rates. I understand that their intention is to raise their profit margin to above nine percent. These kinds of profits feel incompatible with their storm response this year: - decisions to run power lines above ground rather than buried focused on short term profits at long term costs - their infrastructure for tracking which customers had service and which did not constantly failed, many people had to report their lost service many times - their communication was consistently poor and confusing I don't have an easy solution to suggest, but raising rates on consumers to pass along profit to owners and executives feels like the exact wrong direction. Raising rates to pay for necessary improvements would be far more palatable if the executives would receive the regional median salary and share buybacks or dividends require matching contributions to low income programs. | ||
| UE 435-203 | 3/4/2024 9:49:13 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Ben | S | PORTLAND | PGE Should not be allowed to set a target profit margin and then pass all additional costs off to consumers via rate increases. Unlike other businesses/industries, we do not have a choice in going to another Utility for power, and lowering our power consumption only goes so far. Market pressures do not work to motivate PGE to lower costs/rates, only the utility oversight can reign in their excessive rate hikes. These persistent rate hikes cannot be allowed to continue. The business must stomach the costs of operating and not treat rate-payers as a blank check. I strongly oppose allowing PGE to continue raising rates year after year! | ||
| UE 435-204 | 3/5/2024 2:01:35 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Connie | Brooks | PORTLAND | PGE is asking for another rate hike. This is after they already got some hefty and ridiculous rate hikes the past three years. This is unsustainable. The last rate hike that went into effect this past January is on top of the incredibly generous one they received the year before from 21% to 18%. Yet they showed profits due to the rate hikes they levied on consumers. I would hope that the PUC will not grant any more rate hikes for the next three years. They need to tighten their belts and not worry about their investors and wasting money on projects that are money pits. We have weather events every year. They need to plan for them and put money aside for those winter storms. Asking for rate hikes is not the solution to a company that has proven it does not know how to budget and wastes money. A full audit needs to be enacted as to how every penny is spent. We, the customers, have to pinch our pennies, watch our budgets like hawks and hope we find additional work to pay the bills. PGE wasted money redesigning their residential customer bill statements. Why? The old format was much better than their new format. That was a complete waste of money Here's a news flash. I want to see the charges on the first page of the statement, not the backside of it. Also the layout of the new statement is harder to read. I hate their new statements. The old ones were easier to read and the charges were listed in a logical manner --- especially the totals for each category. Their new AI operated customer call center. What a travesty. If they wanted to anger customers, they succeeded. I dread calling that AI voice mail hell. That is not customer service. Mandy, the virtual assistant, is anything but helpful. How much money was wasted on that "upgrade"? Their system has hung up on me several times because, "that is not one of the options." The "Reach out and Touch someone" commercials from the past are a good reminder what we would really like to do with their new system. I would like to know how much money they wasted on that system. Now they are using the excuse because of the ice storm they need more money? Baloney. It means they are greedy, are wasteful and fiscally irresponsible. My paycheck has not gone up by double digits at all. They should have planned and had a fund set aside for emergencies and weather conditions. Here's a newsflash, we've had worse weather conditions in the past. They come every year. Some years are worse than others. They can't keep coming back for more rate hikes -- that's the easy way out instead of cleaning their house and tightening their belts. Perhaps they can cut out some of their pet projects, middle managers and decrease the pay of their directors, CEO, managers, etc. Fiscal responsibility is just lip service on their part. A lot of us are already hurting. Does PGE want us to shiver in the darkness? That's what our decision are right now. Do we turn on heat? Do we turn on lights? Where else can we cut expenses? That's what PGE needs to do too. Do they need all those consultants? Managers? CEO? Coordinators? Golden benefits? They can write grants to finance their pet projects. They wasted so much money on Mandy and in Mandy's words, here is my response to PGE's request for more money, "that is not one of the options." <Click> | ||

However, I don't seem to be able to find any effort or consideration about electric companies planning of installing high voltage power lines through neighborhoods, especially ones that are already in high fire risk areas. In todays extreme weather patterns whether high temps and wind or ice storms the risk for electrical equipment and power line failures increases every year. Allowing high voltage power lines in high fire risk neighborhoods is negligible and presents our properties and human population with life threatening risk and even death. The current plan by PGE to install 115kv high voltage power lines (Tonquin Project) on Stafford Road between I205 and Wilsonville is a perfect example of gross negligence considering all the terrible electrical started fires in California, Oregon and Hawaii just in the past few years. This neighborhood of about 100 homeowners is highly concerned about the danger these power lines will pose and we look to the PUC to give serious consideration to what the future of our community faces regardless of the current Convenience and Necessity rules. They are outdated and allowing such dangerous power line installations by utilities without common sense decisions puts all of our lives at risk. | ||

| UE 435-228 | 3/5/2024 8:40:52 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Tamara | Ostervoss | PORTLAND | Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to you in opposition of UE 436, PGE's 2025 Annual Power Cost Update. Raising rates an additional 7% on top of the already 18% increase from this year will have a detrimental effect on working class families. While there are income qualified plans to assist people with bills, many working class families do not meet the requirements. To give you perspective on what average families are dealing with, my overall household expenses in 2024 increased $12,000 between water, taxes, energy, garbage, and insurance increases while my household income remained exactly the same. If I and others are expected to meet increasing costs without an increase in budget, so can a billion dollar company like PGE. Living in Oregon has become completely unaffordable and this is from someone with a six figure income that has to meticulously budget and purchase second hand items to make ends meet, I cannot even begin to imagine how others less fortunate are able to get by. Support the working class families in Oregon and opposing the 7% increase PGE is proposing. While this may not seem a lot, this is the difference between being able to get by and having to skimp on food for many people. | ||

Considering rates with PGE just went up 17% in January which disproportionately affected alot of its customers was hard enough. Is it not OPUC job to protect customers from rates like this? Why is this commission's job not being done? If those on the commission are unable to do their jobs they should be replaced with people who actually can instead of holding on to incompetent and worthless individuals. This is just another reason to leave this state for a place more affordable. GET IT RIGHT OR GET OUT! | ||

I want to address my concern of the 30% rate increase that Portland General Electric has requested over the last 13 months, which then has been approved by the Portland Utility Commission. There is no clear evidence that these rates are required to continue to provide service. There is no ramping period for these exorbitant rate increases to allow for families to adjust. There is no concern that this will increase the homeless population in an area that is already highly devastated by unaffordable housing. I am disgusted by how much consumers are expected to pay for an essential utility service, in a location where we have no other servicer option. This is a monopoly and is forcing already budget constrained families to make difficult decisions about where their money goes. Do they put food on the table or keep the lights on? Do they maintain their vehicle so they can get to and from work or pay their 30% higher than 13 months ago electric bill? I am disgusted that this has been approved and taken into effect. I am disgusted that large corporations are allowed to continue to raise their rates at an exponentially higher rate than wages are increasing. How are working class families supposed to keep up with these increases? We have NO MORE money to give. We are making ends meet paycheck to paycheck. Where is the concern for the people? Where is the understanding of how incredibly negatively impacting these decisions are upon the citizens that this affects?. We all know that these rate increases are not necessary and that there is room for PGE to rebudget and find it elsewhere. Those who are in power at PGE are making a PROFIT off these increases. They are directly profiting from the moth ridden pockets of working class people who have nothing left in their wallets to give. I demand that this be addressed by those that have the ability to change this. As a citizen of Oregon and Marion County, I expect more. Thank you for reading and please do not hesitate to respond and continue this dialogue. Corey Cowles 248-217-5774 | |||||

Hello, I am requesting consent to speak at the next PUC public meeting. My comments are in regards to the exorbitant rate increases that you have approved from Portland General Electric for 2025. A rate increase of 17% was in effect starting January, and now in March, a second rate increase has been requested of an ADDITIONAL 7%. I ask how in good faith can you approve these rate increases knowing full well that the customers of PGE are already struggling to pay their bills. Wages are not increasing at the same rate of inflation and we are unable to keep up with the rates of increases with EVERY bill we have to pay each month, not only our electric bills. This will not only increase the homeless population but instills a strong sense of distrust that your regulatory board is regulating anything. I am contacting state legislatures, federal energy regulatory commissions, participating in petitioning, and making my presence here. You say that you have programs for payment assistance but that does not help those that are just on the fringes of making ends meet. What exactly are you doing to regulate and approve these rate increases? What are the justificable means for these rate increases? Thank you and I am intending to be present in the virtual meeting regardless of whether or not you give consent for this public comment. Corey Cowles 248-217-5774 | |||||

I and other PGE customers would greatly appreciate it if you denied this request, preferably without a hearing. PGE customers just got hit with a 17% hike that is ridiculous, outrageous, and just greedy. Customers are struggling already and the price hike is more of a gut punch than a service. The 2024 decision should be reversed. Either it be reversed or a 10-year ban on PGE from requesting rate hikes. PGE needs to learn how to budget the money they have. Customers do not have a choice of who supplies their power like a phone company or Internet provider/Cable. I hope that your commission sees that PGE is asking way too much out of their customers at one time. In closing, I want to express my deepest disappointment with the committee's decision to approve a 17% price hike for 2024 year. In my opinion, customers would be more willing to accept the rate hike if PGE requested the 17% rate hike to be spread over 5 years, which would have increased rates by 3% each year. My apologies, if I was a bit brash in my letter. Thank you for your time, Brian Copper. PGE Customer - Portland Oregon. | |||||

If they are so desperately in need of money then give up expenses first. These include PGE Park corporate sposnership. All commercial video snd print adds. Sponserhips for non profit groups and sports teams and all other similar marketing campaigns. Why does a company with no competition need these marketing expenses. I can't go out and choose a different electric or natural gas supplier, there is no competitor. The number of times i have seen glossy high production print and video media adds advertising for the services I am forced to use is infuriating and unjustified. Any rate increase must be tied to ceasing all financial donations to causes. And this does not even touch profit sharing. If there is a windfall of profits from power generation. A 17% increase this year and thd a an ask of 5% next year? And then they pay divedends to investors? I am 100% supportive of this capitalism model if and a big IF I had the opportunity to choose who i wanted to purchase my power and natural gas from. In my opionion utilities need to be publicly owned like clark county PUD or at best a non profit without stock holders requiring dividends on the backs of consumers required to purchase their product. This is just not against PGE but all public utilities that provide services where there is no choice of an alternstive. My garbage hauler Waste Management is thd same. The print material I receive from them has extremly high roduction cost. The tv adds i see them run and the corporate sponserships where they give away marketing dollars is abhorrent. There is no reason to have any marketing budget for a service i am forced to use. Thank you for your time. Eldon Lampson 7906 SE141st Ave Portland OR 97236 503-250-4971 | |||||

You add water, gas and local taxes and you have a cost of living that is not aligned with the average income of the population.

In that time they still do not provide proper maintenance of their power lines. We were without power for several days last year as trees came down in the west hills. We lost power for days even though we do not live in the west hills, but west of Banks. This year PGE stated they required to reinforce our power pole by our house, and they damaged our driveway in the process, and have done nothing to repair the damage despite requests to repair the damage left. No maintenance of trees by power lines was done this year, so we lost power for a time during the ice storm this year. How can PGE ask for a second rate increase when they do not spend any of the money on line maintenance? My driveway is dangerous but PGE won't repair their damage they did. | ||

Around the areas in various cities I see power lines that was hanging, drooping, and we've all heard of the power line accident during the winter storm. In the past we've seen in my neighborhood a power line melting a tree while the fire depart stood by to watch it until pge showed up. Nothings being maintained, and our outages seem to be more often. I'm very concerned that pge is so unreliable yet there's no other options for electrical power therefore we are stuck with outages as the new norm and higher prices. My bill doubled since January. That's a huge percent increase. It unfathomable. I dont receive enough in social security to pay outrageous unbelievable increases especially when service rendered is poor service provided.

I respect that upgrades cost money; however, considering that the rate hike last year was followed by PGE announcing a 25% increase in profits, and this year my power was out for over a week, I believe PGE should put its service first and profits second, using the money they've already secured as the exclusive electricity provider for the Portland area to improve services instead of price-gouging customers who are already struggling. Asking for a rate increase is a smokescreen for corporate greed from the already-wealthy company, who could provide these services without charging more if they were just willing to accept a lower profit margin for their services. Corporations know no shame. It's up to the people, and their representatives, to establish boundaries for acceptable behavior; this proposal does not constitute such behavior. | ||

Its seems that the only solutions are more money. I would like PUC to hold public utility companie accountable to a minimum 75% company efficiency in management. When the PG&E CEO has a yearly compensation of about ~$50mill and a cash flow from operating activities amounting to $4.75 billion for 2023. I think that unless PG&E can demonstrate, transparently why they cannot use the cash from operating activies? Or some income stream. Given a total Net revenue of 25Bil. Its time public companys are required to show they are maximally efficient, before charging consumers more. I have also heard about large miss management being a leading cause for rising cost. PUC should also continously keep in mind that a balance should not be tippied in favor to either side. But to do that it needs solid metric, the public can see and digest to have trust in the process. PUC should demonstrate complete transparancy by making documentaion public for review | ||

Keeping their facilities up to date, making repairs after weather events, this should be part of their normal operating budget. The PGE CEO's yearly compensation has gone from $1.5 million to over $6 million since 2018. How much money is going to shareholder payouts? This money should be going back into the company for their facility improvements, not given out as bonuses and payouts for the company executives. PGE may be a private company, but they are providing a necessary service that consumers have no choice but to use. This shouldn't be a private company, this should be a public utility, but that's an argument for another day. If the Oregon Public Utility Commission is going to regulate Portland General Electric, they need to make sure money isn't just going to the people at the top. If PGE wants to be our only source for power, it is their responsibility to spend their money on keeping their facilities working. CEO bonuses and shareholder payouts do nothing to help the public, nothing to help the power grid and I'm sure it doesn't do anything to help the people actually working on the streets to fix our power lines. If PGE can't keep up with improvements and can't spend their money wisely, maybe it's time to make it a public utility or to find a different company to serve the Portland area. Increasing prices on customers for a basic necessity that is struggling due to PGE's negligence should not be something the Oregon Public Utility Commission allows. If they need more money, PGE can use the $5 million in CEO bonus pay to fix their structural issues. | ||

My family’s average electric bill last winter was approximately $250 per month. We do not have a large household, approximately 1600 sq. feet. We cannot afford another rate increase. Moreover, with all of the electrification policies that are being promoted by local/federal government agencies (switching gas powered tools to electric, electric vehicles/bike incentives, potential bans to gas appliances & wood burning fireplaces, etc.) the average family may not realize what the economic impact of another rate increase will have on their household yet. We need to slow these rate increases down and consider their full impact when coupled with recent policy changes that are encouraging further electric usage. It feels like we are encouraging people to make themselves dependent on electricity, but in a way that is financially unsustainable for the average household. I am concerned about the long term impact this will have on our communities. | ||

Pacific Power charges 28 cents per kwh during on peak and 10 cent for off peak. Idaho Power on and off peak cost per kwh is just under 8 cents. Based on the published rate plan PGE sent out as going into effect on March 1st of 2024 the cheapest rate plan cost per kwh during non peak times is 42 cents per kwh and 53 cents during peak times. All the municipal, cooperatives, and public PUDs have rates that typically average less than 12 cents and most average 8 cents per kwh. What OPUC needs to answer for is how, is it that out of nearly 30 electricity utilities in the state, PGEs rates are, on average, six times higher per kwh for 99% of the other options in Oregon and more than twice that of Pacifc Power who is also an investor owned utility that is seeking an increase as well but still be cheaper than PGE. | ||

Tom | Mann | SALEM | Dear PUC - I am writing about the recent rate-increases the various utility companies are seeking. Simply put, these massive rate increases are outrageous. Any reasonable person can see that an 18 percent increase in any consumer product is untenable, especially when considering the average household has seen little to no increase in earnings during these inflation years. What is really disturbing is these utility companies are asking for these massive increases in order to offset their legal costs for losing the wildfire lawsuits. Yes, I know that businesses don't really pay taxes; they pass those costs off to the customer. But in the case of these utilities which caused wildfires, passing those legal costs on to the consumer is unethical. Should you approve their rate increase schemes you basically are enabling the companies to escape responsibility for their actions at the expense of their customers. You know that this product is a near monopoly - everyone needs energy and you have no choice from where you get it based on where you live - there is no real competition. That is why we customers rely on you to protect our interests. My plea to you is to give significant weight to the concerns of customers. My solution is to give the utilities a rate increase but no more than 10 percent. That is a fair amount for all involved. Even those who are underprivileged may find that amount manageable with the various low-income energy support programs. Thank you for taking the time to read my note. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Tom Mann Salem, OR chilovek@hotmail.com 503-559-2402 | ||

| UE 435-287 | 3/7/2024 1:19:41 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Matthew | Sprague | NEWBERG | As a concerned consumer of utilities, my observation along with many people I know is that the Public Utilities Commission is simply a rubber stamp for providers to get what they want every time. Yes on occasion we see where someone wants 12% and you knock it down to 10% however our view of that is the utility company has your number and is providing something higher in case you actually approve it but knows they may get less and can live with that. Its also not lost on the general public that these utility providers generate the appearance of an inefficient operation that would bankrupt them if they were operating in a true private field without a captive audience. We have one company offering the provision of electrical service. This is a monopoly no matter how you slice it. The PUC is there to protect the consumer but the consumers don't believe this is what the PUC is doing or at least not doing it very well. One of the biggest excuses for rate increases for example is wildfire potential. Wildfires are not getting worse because of climate change. They are getting worse because government agencies are not managing their forest lands the way private land holders do. The consumer now has to pay for failed government policies which create increase fire risk. The consumer really needs the PUC to task providers with being more efficient before asking for more increases. As you can probably see because it's all over social media and the press....we are getting awfully tired of the increases. Especially in a state where our state taxes are the 2nd highest in the nation behind only Massachusetts. And this isn't just for power. It applies for all providers seeking substantially increased rates. | ||

Furthermore, the price signaling happening in the market, driving other utility companies in the Oregon markets to increase their rates to match those of PGE is also unacceptable. Choosing two different increase values that magically equal the same total increase over two years across these two companies is more than a coincidence. This is classic market manipulation and price signaling among monopoly holders. With the revenues and administrative cost PGE has there is no excuse for not having the strategic foresight and budgetary acumen to see, and plan for infrastructure cost which are being used as a crutch, and excuse for further, gouging the consumer, and lining the pockets of shareholders and executives of PGE, rather than serving the community which has no alternative other than to utilize the service. if the leadership collecting these massive salaries does not have the ability or foresight to plan appropriately for changes in the marketplace and protect the consumer while still delivering a quality product. They have no business collecting massive paychecks they do. Choosing to reestablish a dividend payment to shareholders while consumers the bill is insulting to all of our intelligence, and should be reviewed by the justice department for monopolistic practices, and abuse of that position in the market. | ||

The fact that PGE feels so entitled to ask for another increase after just getting a 17% increase shows how little of respect, they have for OPUC and the consumer. PGE knows OPUC will cave on the matter and have made clear PGE's only interest is that of the PGE shareholder not consumers who are forced to have PGE as the sole electric provider. OPUC is made of individuals given the position by elected public officials, and yet OPUC is acting like an extension of PGE's PR department. PGE is laughing that OPUC, because they are seasoned negotiators, that 17% increase that ended up being much higher to the individual consumer is exactly what PGE wanted. To educate you on how large companies negotiate: they go into it asking for everything under the sun knowing full well they won't get it, then OPUC counters that proposal with an unheard of 17% increase (which ended up being larger) and OPUC acts like they won, when in reality the consumer lost. It is clear that OPUC has been outmatched and outwitted at every turn since 2021. In the best interest of Oregonians, we need change to the OPUC. Electricity is not a luxury; it is a necessity. OPUC has allowed and created a status queue that when PGE wants to raise rates they can. OPUC is an embarrassment and CUB should get the funding that is currently used by OPUC.

| UE 435-291 | 3/7/2024 2:47:49 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Margaret | L | SALEM | I've been thinking about this a lot and I would like to add on to my previous comment: I've been watching PGE's response to the outrage about this proposed increase, and they keep trying to point people toward "power-saving options" and weatherization and solar panels, and they don't seem to understand just how out-of-reach a lot of that is. Poor people can't just drop hundreds of dollars on new, more energy-efficient appliances. Home maintenance is expensive, and a lot of us have been struggling long enough now that we haven't been able to keep up with it. Solar panels aren't an option for everyone. I'm in a manufactured home, and I CAN'T have solar panels, because my roof would not support them. I also lived in an apartment for a long time that had no central air and terrible air circulation, and I had no choice but to run two expensive AC units and a TON of fans all day and night in different parts of the apartment, or it would literally be unlivable. And I don't just mean uncomfortable, I mean I'd have been at risk for heat sickness indoors. During the hottest part of the summer, the un-air-conditioned parts of that apartment would regularly hit or exceed 90F. The kitchen would hit 100. Even with fans in every window, it was impossible to cool the place down to a comfortable temperature, even at night. These were decent, pretty well-maintained apartments, but they were constructed before we started seeing such regular extreme temperatures in the Willamette Valley. We were also not allowed to have window units in that complex, so I had to use more expensive, less efficient floor units that sealed poorly and used more electricity. I had NO choice but to pay huge electric bills if I wanted to be able to sleep and work. I shudder to think how high our bills would have gotten after this latest rate increase, and what my old neighbors there will end up paying. Some apartment complexes also require you to run heat to a certain temp if it's freezing at night, to prevent your pipes from freezing, and if they're old, inefficient baseboard heaters, that's going to raise your bill. PGE needs to stop pretending that this comes down to individual choices. PGE and the PUC don't understand the challenges faced by the working class. Renters and low-income homeowners have a lot fewer choices. The choices we have barely make a dent in our bills, and mostly just contribute to us living in even worse conditions: doing less laundry, showering less, trying to find ways to tolerate uncomfortable indoor temperatures to save money, turning off air purifiers, cooking as little as possible, living in the dark all summer because the temperature will go up another two degrees indoors if we open our blinds (fun fact: if you have seasonal affective disorder, this can cause you to get depressed in the summer too. I know because I lived it). Again, I'm calling on you to deny this increase. Tell PGE they need to spend a few years learning how to be more efficient with their money instead of asking the poorest to lower their standard of living even further. | ||

Anticipation those rate increases we used less energy yet our bill is over 200 dollars more than when we were using heat a few months ago. This is becoming egregious, and the expectations for consumers to pay the debt of a company that chose inaction during wildfires is completely ridiculous. I understand They lost a lot of money due to their choices during fire season, but that shouldn’t fall on the consumers back to help their bottom line. | ||

Specifically, Social Security has not. Yes, I have other income because Social Security, at the time of its implementation, an since, has never been intended to be anything but a supplement. These other incomes have not gone up by 40% either. We are speaking of just one utility here. I hear what might and could happen but not a bonafide solution other than the solution is in someone elses hands. Understanding this is a for for profit corporation? Might I suggest another solution? Take 39% of the profits this year, if thats what it takes, and put it towards whatever problem has been presented above. Im sure anything needed, to supply the service you offer, would immediately, if not shortly rectify itself. As people change, so must buisness. Just sayin profit is claimed after, the expense of doing buisness. Not matter what, I would still argue, at times a Corporation giving up some profit may be what's needed to continue doing buisness. Maybe 39%is a stretch, but not if the service is unaffordable. Isnt this what I was taught a monopoly is in school? I think I was taught its wrong, and Illegal. Not, monopoly is what i hear because? I hate do not appreciate being put in a position where I feel I have to argue. This is alot like comparing apples to oranges. My story and Ill stick to it! Cheers | ||

My own power bill is pressuring our financial situation even in taking measures to reduce our heating and electical usage including adding insulation and only heating or using appliances during non-peak hours. And now they are proposing another rate hike for 2025, using the justification of January 2024 storms! My understanding from news reports is that they justify a rate hike such as in 2024 for battery storage infrastructure, but much of the revenue from the hike doesn't go to the project.

| UE 435-308 | 3/8/2024 2:21:59 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Chris | F. | HAPPY VALLEY | This past years the rates for our electric bills have skyrocketed in a time when inflation and costs are at an all time high. This morning I read an article on a response made by the Oregon Public Utilities Commission. Before reading this article I was under the assumption that rate hikes were only a result of the company itself. I was not aware that these hikes must be approved by the Oregon PUC. These rate hikes are unacceptable and must be reversed and capped. It is unfortunate that the utilitity companies were sued and are still being sued due to the wildfires, however what is unacceptable is that our rates are drastically increased to supplement the payouts and costs for repairs. It is the sole responsibility of the utility companies to properly maintain the electric grid. Pacific Gas & Electric annual revenue for 2023 was $24.428B, a 12.68% increase from 2022. Pacific Gas & Electric annual revenue for 2022 was $21.68B, a 5.03% increase from 2021. Pacific Gas & Electric annual revenue for 2021 was $20.642B, a 11.77% increase from 2020. In 2021 the CEO for PG&E received a total compensation of $51.2 million. Instead of giving it's CEO excessive compensation packages the company should spend it's funds properly and put it's profits into the infrastructure making sure they are safe. Instead they neglected maintenance and paid enormous wages to it's CEO and now they are passing on it's new expenses to the customers. This is not ok! Many people were struggling just to keep the power before these rate hikes especially the elderly who are on fixed income not to mention the rest of us who are paying to try to keep up with inflation. PG&E should of carried an extensive insurance policy to cover any damages they might be responsible for. Although hard to predict what happend with the fires, an adequate policy should of had them covered. I know with companies this large they often self insure, nonetheless the consumer should not bare the brunt of the outcomes of the lawsuits. The Oregon PUC should not of approved these excessive rate hikes and needs to reverse their approval to a % that is fair to the consumers. Here is the quote from the Oregon PUC: “I recognize that people are struggling with rate increases from the utilities, compounding the rising costs that they’re seeing across the economy,” said Megan Decker, chair of Oregon Public Utility Commission. "We only approve rate increases when we are persuaded based on the evidence that is put before us by groups representing residential consumers, business consumers, environmental justice advocates, that the utility is managing reasonably, but costs have nonetheless gone up." Rate hikes should not be approved on a persuaded argument from Environmental justice advocates. It should be solely based on the cost of electricity based on the number of customers and use. Things are getting out of control for the average individual trying to make it thru life, with the excessive rate increases on everything, Oregonians are going to be forced to live somewhere else. This case is a direct result of the electric infrastructure not being properly maintained over the years and it was only a matter of time for this to occur. While I appreciate everything all of the work the hard working individuals at PG&E do to keep power on at our house, no CEO should be taking home $51.2 million while the grid goes neglected. And the people who are dependent on electricity which is pretty much most of us should not have to eat the cost of their improper money management. I urge Oregon PUC to seriously reevaluate the rate increases they have approved and to reverse them to a point which is fair to the consumer. | ||

Please block this and do not let PGE increase rates yet again year over year. If they are going to try to increase rates 42% over a few years time, perhaps it’s time to bust their monopoly and reintroduce some competition or stricter oversight into the mix. Better yet, let’s reverse their last rate increase. Customer currently have no choice of electricity provider, no say on rates, no real buffer or reimbursement for over paying on this basic utility. Reading over their financials, it appears PGE is upset that customers used less electricity then normal in the winter, as well as their renewables producing less. It seems to me, those two factors balance themselves out nicely. Why should we pay more because we used less electricity last winter? Steps should also be taken to decrease their monopoly over electricity in the area or give consumers greater ways to hold them accountable. If PGE needs to pay for more batteries and infrastructure I suggest they use some of their profits from previous years, decrease some of their top earners salaries (Maria pope made 4 million last year I believe.) wait until they can afford it, or perhaps request more grants from the government, but under no circumstances should PGE strangle their consumers with another rate increase. | ||||

That's what I hear the PUC Chair telling the public about this rate increase request. The Commission has repeatedly granted PGE rate increases, including the highest in history just last year. Now they want even more money for total increases of 40% in just the last few years. Included in this round is to raise their profit margin. Enough. We are told to seek ways to lower our bills. I have done that, installing new, more efficient HVAC equipment in my home. I have paid attention to "peak periods", and made adjustments to lower my energy consumption. Yet my bills have done nothing but escalate. I am paying almost 100% more in energy bills than I was just a few years ago. While we need to prepare and build for tomorrow, we need to live within our means today. That is what households do. And they are struggling with the inflation of the last few years, increased housing costs, and getting back on our feet from the pandemic. How will the Commission factor in these realities in their decision? Sincerely, Richard Crimi Beaverton | ||

I am convinced upper PGE management and leaders of this state, including those on the OR PUC, are so out of touch that outcries from us ratepayers fall on deaf ears & numb consciences. You SAY you're here to weigh our burden with the "requirements" of those asking for constant rate hikes, but your actions say otherwise. Why even invite our input when it makes no difference to you? Do you enjoy hearing how the working & middle class of Oregon are struggling to keep a roof over our heads, pay for groceries, and keep the utilities on? You all basically make 200K each to be the yes-men for companies headed by millionaires, demanding over 40% of rate increases on the rest of us in just 3 years. About 2 weeks ago, several neighbors lost power for "unknown" reasons for hours. They cancelled schools last minute, so parents had to call into work (again) last minute. No snow was falling, no ice, not a single breeze could be felt in the air, and yet half of us were in the dark & the other half had another missed day of school and work. For WHAT? The rate increases continue, year after year, without a single improvement in service. In fact, the service is worse. Maria Pope made 8 million in 2023-- she hasn't shown her face or made a single comment about how her company has failed its most burdened rate-payers. She responded to utility advocates complaining that another one of her slimy plans was "nothing but a money grab" & she (shockingly) momentarily backed off of that one. People DIED in their homes during our January ice storm & PGE blamed their "lack of planning". Perhaps we could have planned had PGE's phones & website worked & customers were given ONE factual piece of information to figure out next steps. PGE knew a storm was coming, then waited days into it, with ice everywhere, trees down and hundreds of thousands without power, to get out-of-state crews to come help while people risked hypothermia in their homes. Did THEY plan? You can see why some of us stuck with PGE are concerned about giving them record amounts of more money. I'd also like to add that those of us stuck in the middle were not punished with an 18% rate increase-- it was far more & you all know that. We're also the ones on the hook to provide others who qualify for discounts with relief, but will receive 0 such consideration ourselves. Ever. You are killing us. Portland is already one of the most expensive places to live, in a state most taxed (second to Massachusetts) in the nation. What makes you think, in 2024 with record gas prices, food prices, inflation, and raising costs of EVERYTHING, us Oregonians can take on ANY MORE? Last time, we told you we couldn't; you passed the rate hike anyway. And you'll do it again. I just wanted to make sure you knew how high the stakes are for most of us. I was raised here. I've been raising my family here-- my kids are bonded to their community & friends here, and yet all we can think about is how you are forcing us to leave. Think about how devastating this is for lifelong Oregonians. Think about our senior citizens, disabled citizens...think about literally anyone less fortunate than Maria Pope, her C-suite, and the three of you. | ||

I called PGE on February 28 to express my extreme concerns and frustrations with the rate hike. I find it even more appalling the CEO would take such a large pay raise. During my conversation with the manager I spoke with at PGE I was informed I could express my concerns with PUC and the Oregon legislatures who are all responsible for this rate hike so that is what I'm doing. Ironic the people of Oregon wouldn't have any say in such a thing as a rate hike, especially one so substantial. I also understand that the raising of our rates isn't done yet and there is more to come. Is that correct? Will we, the citizens of Oregon, be seeing another rate hike in April? How much this time? Are you SERIOUSLY expecting to have bills paid in full? My familys home bill went from $275 to $500 in less than a month with little change in usage. Thats a substantial jump. How would you honestly expect a family to pay such a large sum, especially with the rising costs of food?!?! Is the CEO of PGE planning on paying what family's can't come up with? Better yet, are those that voted for this and went along with this rate hike going to pitch in and help all of us family's pay these ridiculous bills? I'm pretty disgusted with this all together to be honest. As my family and I are trying to keep up with the inflation of food prices that this wonderful (not so much) administration has instituted, the raising prices of a power bill makes it EXTREMELY difficult to meet or even pay the bill in full. To have our home bill experience such a jump is ridiculous. As we have worked hard to remodel the home, replace windows to help and put in quality insulation, I'm extremely frustrated as our bill continues to climb. Our home is heated with a wood stove and not so much power usage. As I told the manager on the phone call with PGE, this is a two way street. The Oregon legislators voted for this...( NOT ME) But it takes someone on the other side to agree to go along with this. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea can pay any and all my future bills along with the families of all the Oregon citizens. This is utterly ridiculous! Its time for all of you who voted for this to be voted out! Its time for the PUC to hear from the people. Don't think I won't be at any and all meetings, rallys, and gatherings making my voice heard. What do any of you have to say about this rate hike which is utterly ridiculous??????? Who is going to pay my family's future bills?

March 4, 2024 Re: Portland General Electric – Rate Hike Increase for 2025 Dear Oregon Public Utilities Commission: As a senior citizen and Portland General Electric customer, I want to record my strong opposition to the proposed rate increase by Portland General Electric for 2025 for any amount. As you are aware, the following increases have already been approved for this utility: 8% in 2022 (34.4% + 8% = 42.4%) 9% in 2023 (25.4% + 9% = 34.4%) 18% in 2024 (7.4% + 18% = 25.4%) With the proposed increase of 7.4% in 2025, that will bring the total increase in our rate pricing to a whopping 42.4% at a time when there are exorbitant increases on everything from food, services, other goods, healthcare, utilities, etc. This unconscionable rate increase request tantamount to extortion and exorbitant give the last increase of 18% along with the most recent multiple rate increases. . The recent rate increases are devastating and doing immense damage to the current living standard and quality of life for all Oregonians not to mention seniors in general. I, along with my neighbors and friends here in Newberg and locally cannot comprehend the justification for the raising of the rates just shortly out of the crushing pandemic and while our inflation rates on everything are so very high. To top it off, Maria Pope, the CEO of Portland General Electric is recorded as receiving $6,256,599 in total compensation in 2022, which I am certain is has vastly increased since that date. Instead of requesting more money, the company should be cutting back on their expenditures like their own pay increase, Green/Renewable Energy, and EV programs. I ask that you please reject Portland General Electric’s request for the rate increase. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Tess McCoskey Newberg, OR | |||||

This year you voted to, AGAIN, approve rate increases by PGE, this time 18%.This, after rate increases the past several years TWICE. Their justification for THIS latest one, effective Jan.1, 2024, was to increase their investors’ annual yield from 5+ % last year to their PROJECTED expenses so they can increase their investors’ yields to almost 10%. Again these were PGE’s “PROJECTED” costs, ***which I am wondering if you truly scrutinized***. I’d be willing to bet PGE’s “projected expenses” are quite “generous” in PGE’s favor to justify the dramatic increase you approved. Now PGE wants you to approve ANOTHER increase! This, in my opinion, adds “insult to injury”! IF I cannot afford something, I budget, something, quite apparently PGE thinks they do not need to do. Their administrators’ pay rate is OBSENE in the light of their requested increases! IF I cannot afford to buy batteries, I either budget from my budget or do not buy them. The increase this year in PGE’s rate is 18%, which you approved. After last years increase pf about 8%, which you also approved. My Social Security increase this year was 3.2%. Should I petition the Oregon PUC for an increase?? Again, I write to let you know the hardship your latest approval of PGE’s rates are on ratepayers, especially those on Social Security, and, emphatically, ask you to deny PGE’s latest greed driven request for ANOTHER increase.

Thank you for the opportunity to address the rate increase proposal by PGE for 2025 As you know we all just had our rates increase by 17%. My neighbors and myself were shocked by the first bill with this increase. Well over 17% of my previous bill and no real explanation from PGE When I read about yet another increase I looked at what PGE had stated was the reason for this last increase. I discovered that they are basically asking for another 7% for the same reasons they asked for the 17% Before another increase is permitted, I think it’s a deep dive into their operating costs and internal cuts need to be made before another rate hike is foisted upon Oregonians Over $6 million for the CEO alone leaves me wondering what other outrageous salaries are being paid? We all see the 10 people on the side of the road for tree trimming - when 4 would be sufficient.

As a resident of Portland, living at 3324 SW Fairmount Blvd, Portland, I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration.

The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment.

The fact that PGE has the nerve to request an additional 7.4% rate for 2025, a year after the 18% increase is incomprehensible. Here is the reality, it is the middle income families that are burdened with these constant increases, ie. the poor can’t afford to pay so PGE offers more discounts to lower income families and, for those with high incomes, these increases are less burdensome. BUT families who don’t fall into either category are left to carry the ultimate burden. Shame on you if you pass this request. It is time for PGE to get off the backs of the middle income families.

I have struggled to pay my electric bill for the past 3 years. The current rate increased is already taking an effect on my income. Normally my bill for winter is $60, but now it running at $220. Although I am signed up for low-income rates it only brings my cost down to $180. If I am already struggling during winter time, summer won't be any better as my bill is double to triple the cost of my winter bill You see during the winter I don't use much heat, but since my home stays decently warm during winter that means it becomes overwhelmingly hot during the summer and requires A/C to run non stop.

As a Commission, you need to be looking at these requests more from a consumer point of view as it relates to “affordability”. Of their own device, PGE will “spend money” as it is a Public Utility beholden to its investors. I am asking and urging you as a Commission to make PGE “budget” their existing dollars to meet their needs. A number of families in OR are already strapped for Income due to various increases, the most being the most recent 18% increase by PGE. Enough is Enough!!!

I understand the importance of PGE service and infrastructure. I was not happy with the most recent rate increase because it was so large. As a single working mother, the 2024 rates are not sustainable. I know many people in my community who just cannot make the payment. When I see a request for an additional increase next year, I am furious. PGE's Executive Summary saying that a return on invested capital is a factor driving an additional rate increase, it is upsetting. The summary says the purpose is for PGE to maintain its credit and attract capital to ultimately benefit customers. That sounds like a plan that rich people consider, but it is just too much for average people to handle right now. Oregonians are still recovering from the pandemic, crippled at the grocery store and gas station. Rent is unmanageable and corporate greed is eating us alive. All utilities have increased. These are basic needs that people cannot meet right now. The PUC needs to protect people and ask PGE to come up with another plan. Let citizens try to adjust to this current massive rate increase for a few years. PGE can make a new proposal in a couple of years when they can show the progress of their infrastructure plan. They cannot justify hitting customers so hard with back-to-back increases. This goes for their peak pricing proposal as well. Electricity is not a luxury item; it is a basic need. The OPUC's mission must insure that Oregonians have access to "fairly priced" utility services and "promote public interest" to "arrive at a balance." Please do not support any additional increase. Your previous approval is already crippling Oregonians. | ||

With price increases, such as what PGE and Portland Power want and you've granted, families and individuals have fewer opportunities, in the land of supposed opportunity, to better themselves, maintain savings accounts, or buy things in a retail economy. And such price increases make it much more difficult to be able to meet the 40% max of income that is the golden standard for living anywhere, especially as renters suffer from capricious price increases from landowners and property managers. Allowing price increases also fails to do anything to help alleviate Oregon's homelessness crisis; in fact, such increases only serve to compel people to leave the state, if not lose their home. And, greed is recognized as a sin by every established religion. And the term "inflation" is just a word to distract from what's really occuring in utilities, groceries, housing, and power: man-made intentional greed and price-gouging | ||

Another 7.4% so shortly after the 18% raise is unconscionable! The 18% is already horrific! I'm a resident on a very small fixed income of $11,000 a year. I am disabled and have been for nearly 20 years. I already was struggling to make ends meet and pay my electric bill. I'm supposedly getting a percentage off, due to my low income status, yet my bill still went up so much that I'm terrified of losing my home! If my electricity gets shut off, I get evicted! It's not making a dent, and PGE claims I'm using way more electricity, when that's not even possible! I'm watching what I use more than ever before! I try to get help through energy assistance programs, but it's nearly impossible! I can never find one with availability when I need it. The phone lines and waiting lists are open randomly. I don't hear back from them. I haven't been able to get help in this way for several years. I had to spend this winter with my thermostat set at 55°F. I have all of my lights on timers. I go to the bathroom & shower in the dark. I don't know what I'll do when it gets hot and I can't afford to use my air conditioner. My medication makes me very heat sensitive and I have a companion pet that I'm afraid will suffer! My rent was increased, grocery prices are sky high, we are losing the Affordable Connectivity Program. I can't afford to have a coffee with friends anymore, even. I'm so isolated! I'm getting priced out of life! Please stop this! Please do not allow this increase! Please help people like me! I did nothing to deserve this suffering! I do not have control over my disability! Please help! Please!! I shouldn't be in a position to pay shareholders and fill a millionaire CEO's pockets! This is cruelty! Help us! Please! I'm desperate! I cannot afford this! I can't live on the street! I'm a good person. I don't break the law. I keep to myself. I don't drink or use drugs. I volunteer when I'm healthy enough. PGE is inhumane! They are price gouging is! Please stop making us pay for their greed and negligence! It's going to kill people! It already is! Thank you for your time. -Amber Pfaff | |||||

The unchecked gouging of the people of Oregon by monopolistic entities such as PGE needs to stop, NOW! The people of this state cannot afford these excessive rate hikes, especially at a time when soaring taxes and food, gasoline and housing prices are rising faster than many can hope to keep up with. If there was ever a time for government regulators to take action against scheming organizations such as this, it is now. Monopolies such as this must be by law closely regulated or broken up in the best interests of the public. The continuation of complacency on the part of the Oregon legislature concerning this untenable situation is completely unacceptable and even criminal on its face. As a result, I and many other people of the state of Oregon are increasingly suspecting a condition of blatant collusion between our legislature, our elected representatives in general and the power companies. We demand immediate, legislative action be taken to mitigate this destructive behavior or a sure and effective purging of the dead wood in the halls of power will be the only choice left to the people, whatever form that may take. Mark my words; some of us are not so easily swayed by promises of free lunches. Hoping that you will use your heads for something more than a hatrack.

The other electronic companies to our south were asleep at the wheel and entire communities burned and people died. Now ,electric rates have soared with more increases to come along with lawsuits .

I understand that infrastructure changes and post-storm repairs are costly, but trimming trees prior to storms would help prevent some of that damage in the first place, minimizing the need for emergency power restoration efforts and associated costs. PGE notified residents of SE Portland of anticipated tree trimming just days before this 2024 ice storm - this tree trimming did not occur and tree damage to power lines left many without power for several days. Use your budget to work on disaster prevention, don't just milk us dry for money we don't have.

The average rate hike of %18 is unreal. People in this community are struggling to survive and in the midst of that struggle large utility companies are complaining about the cost associated to them instead of valuing and helping the customers in the communities that they serve. The message is "give us more of what you don't have because we need it more." A sentiment that breeds distrust and dissatisfaction among constituents. It is basic economics that the price gets passed to the consumer. However, conglomerates such as utility companies have an obligation to the people they serve. Power is a basic necessity of average living just like water. If you keep increasing rates you will also increase the amount of people who die or become seriously ill in extreme heat or cold situations that were used to justify these rate hikes. That will be a direct effect of people being unable to afford to heat or cool their homes due to these rate hikes. It is no longer just about our most vulnerable members of society but about everyone because we are ALL struggling. If you need funding to update the power grid apply for other resources. Do not pass these massive rate hikes onto consumers expecting that they can take this hit. Imminently, there will come a day when people will choose not to run their power because they simply cannot afford it. It is already happening that people wear extra sweaters or use extra blankets to stay warm rather than turn on the heat. Sadly, for some, that is a choice to live or die. And then what will utility companies do? Pass another rate hike to collect the money lost when others could not afford to keep the lights on? That is the absolute failure of civic duty. | ||

| UE 435-4 | 2/17/2024 6:12:36 PM | PACIFIC POWER | Oppose Docket | Web | Gary | Poulos | TALENT | Hello. It's my understanding that previous and currently proposed rate increases are due to poor management. It is also my understanding that shareholders chose to risk their investments in a company because they believe that the management will make sound business decisions that will increase the value of that investment. And if management fails in that responsibility, the cost of that failure must be born by those who took the investment risk. This is what causes investors to do their due-diligence before taking a risk, and if the management still fails them, they should replace the management. To do otherwise would only serve to encourage speculation. As a rate payer, I have nothing whatsoever to do with the management decisions of those in charge of PP & L, and should not be held fiscally responsible for such. To charge rate payers for poor management will only discourage the performance of due-diligence prior to investments. It will also encourage both irresponsible speculation and the retention of poor managers. For these reasons, I strongly encourage you to unequivocally oppose such rate increases. Shareholders must be solely responsible for the financial risks they take. Regards, Gary Poulos Talent, OR | ||

| UE 435-422 | 3/7/2024 4:21:21 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Dee | T. | HILLSBORO | There is absolutely no reason to approve PGEs rate increase proposal when their CEO takes home over 6 MILLION dollars PER YEAR. Sure, that includes bonuses but even if we factor out bonuses and stock, she still takes home 16.9% of $6.3 million, or roughly $1,064,700 a year. She makes over a million dollars a year in salary alone. I make less than $40k and the average Oregon citizen makes $32,071 per year. The citizens of the Portland Metro Area are struggling to survive and in the 6+ years Maria Pope has been the CEO of PGE, the citizens of Oregon have paid her enough money to comfortably retire on forever. This proposal for an increase is greedy and unnecessary. In 2023, PGE received 8 grants, totaling $314,000,000. PGE reports a net income based on GAAP of $228,000,000. Their non-GAAP net income was $233,000,000. What are they doing with all that money? Why does a company with a natural monopoly, a CEO who "earns" over $6,000,000, and a net income of over $200,000,000 need to increase our rates yet again? Please make it make sense, because all I see is a greedy corporation trying to make more money off the backs of hard working Oregonians. PGE should be a non-profit with a $1,000,000 gross cap on employee salary and every dime that isn't spent should be invested into infrastructure and supporting our lowest income residents who need the help, instead of employee bonuses. It's a "natural monopoly" which means that they shouldn't be able to make such a huge profit off of residents of Oregon. If I could choose a different power company, I would, but my home isn't set up for natural gas (nevermind the attempts to outlaw natural gas). If the grocery store or gas station prices are higher than I want to pay, I can go to a different store. But with the natural monopoly PGE has, they're able to run free with no natural consequences of rate increases. Oregon citizens are held hostage by the whims of PGE.

There is a large population in Oregon who has the money to pay for this increase. And some. And then you have people who are going without power due to the increases. We should implement a sliding scale based off of household income, so that way the needs of the utility companies get met as well as the needs of the citizens. It would essentially just be a tax on utilities. That's the only way that this is going to work and not completely decimate low-income households. If you put it out for the people to vote for, it might be close but I am sure the people would vote for a sliding scale. | ||

Based on the company's 2023 annual filing with the SEC, the company generates 52% of its revenue from residential customers but only consumes 37% of the power. This disproportion is due to the industrial customers only paying 15% of PGE's revenue but consuming 29% of the power generated. Additionally, PGE generated 228 million in annual profit. Based on this information PGE should only raise prices on industrial customers in order to close this gap. Stop having the residential subsidize industry, and make them pay their fair share. Again please reject this general price increase. PGE should consider raising rates on industrial customers from ~6 cents/ KWH if they wish to maintain the same profits.

While PGE has a low income assistance program, this involves a process that may be cumbersome for people, and additionally is unavailable to middle income people, who may also struggle with the cost of utilities. Many are struggling with astronomically rising costs of living in rent, food, transportation - and utilities. In 2023 PGE reported a net income of $228 million dollars. Where does this money go? Shareholder profits, exorbitant executive salaries, bonuses, and buybacks. Every year PGE spends upwards of $300,000-400,000 on lobbying, and $10,000 on campaign contributions. If this money were redirected towards the very necessary infrastructure upgrades and repairs, climate adaptations and improvements, and employee pay and benefit raises, they would not need to raise rates for residential customers. It's unethical to continue to hoard profits, while telling the public that customers need to pay even more for improvements, as if PGE doesn't have plenty of income as it is. People across income brackets are challenged to afford the cost of living and raising electricity costs another 7% will only cause more economic hardship for everyday people. This negatively affects quality of life, community and public health, economic circulation, and causes people to forgo other necessities in order to attempt to meet basic needs. Please deny PGE's request for another rate increase. | ||

For PGE to want to raise the rates again in 2025 is clearly not being made with the consumer cost in mind. What good are we doing by continuing to raise prices so high to where people cannot afford to live here anymore, or worse yet end up on the street like so many already. If these Companies continue to operate with only their bottom dollar in mind they will knowingly be contributing to the hardships we are seeing across our country. At some point these companies need to have some understanding and empathy to what they are doing to the consumers by raising rates so high they are not sustainable for us consumers to stay ahead on. Most people’s rent and mortgages are already taking a 1/3 to 1/2 of people’s income. Throw these kinds of hikes on there and people will be stuck making decisions on if the power or food is more important. PGE please reconsider raising your rates again.

It's clear that PGE has no understanding and empathy for its customers and their financially-burdened lives, and, I for one, am glad that Oregon CUB has done the right thing by calling them out. | ||

Dear Public Comments Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to comment on the Portland General Electric rate case (UE 435). As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-48 | 3/1/2024 12:07:53 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Jayne | Scheckla | COLTON | I strongly object to another PGE rate increase. I live on a fixed income and these increases are killing me. My electric bill in December was almost $600 thanks to last year's 17% increase. If you continue to increase every single year, people will be forced to choose to be warm or eat. It's that simple. Do you really expect people to be able to absorb almost 40% of increases in three ? PGE is making a good profit. That should be enough without gauging the people. | ||

Dear Public Comments Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to comment on the Portland General Electric rate case (UE 435). As PGE customers, we ask you to please reject PGE’s request to raise rates on Oregon households by 7.2%. Here's why. Thousands of PGE customers cannot afford any more increases. We are still catching up from the last rate increase and ice storm bills from January. As the Commission knows, PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. Very few people have had their incomes increase. We are counting on this Commission to please protect us. PGE desires $202 million (7.2%) to fund battery storage projects that will increase PGE's profits. Seventeen million dollars, a fraction of this latest increase is earmarked for battery storage. Additionally, this case includes many issues this Commission rejected just a few months ago. Allowing utilities to continuously raise rates has tragic consequences for families across the State. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

An increase in 2025 would be the fifth increase in five consecutive years, and this proposed rate would leave us nearing a 50% increase in price since 2021 on residential customers. PGE was already granted a massive increase of 18% in 2024. This is an absolutely untenable cost-of-living increase, and I'm astounded the OPUC granted the 18% this year. There is no way PGE should be permitted to keep their monopoly price on this sharp of an incline. I worry OPUC and other regulators act as rubber stamps, while a monopoly worries more about dividends and year-over-year returns, leaving captive customers footing the bill. PGE's various public filings show they have increased profit margin on specifically residential customers. Someone needs to put a stop to this. I oppose this rate hike and will be reaching out to as many representatives as I can to voice this opinion, and hope to see harsher scrutiny of PGE's blatant profiteering in future. | |||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-51 | 3/1/2024 3:47:04 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Nebella | Freilinger | PORTLAND | I am a citizen of Portland, OR and I and squeezing by with the job I have already. A further increase to PG&E's rates after their historic increase this year would make my ability to live in Portland with my full time, above minimum wage job even harder, and serve as a contributing factor to my exodus from a city I love. I view this attempt to increase rates as a means to exploit the consequences of their gross energy production which produces pollution which forces the people of the world to endure harsher weather conditions, which leads to more energy usage to maintain comfortable temperatures during blazing summers and frigid winters. They are attempting to profit off of their pollution which is killing our planet. Their contribution to the gross negligence on our planet's atmosphere should not be supported. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

The "green energy" policy is also threatening farmland. A South Korean Solar company wants to put 1600 acres of solar panels on farmland in the Harrisburg area. You can read more about it here 1600 Acre Solar Park Friends of Gap Rd The last thing I want to share is abut the HCP The Habitat Conservation Plan was voted on by the Oregon Department of Forestry. It was passed on 03/07 by a vote of 4 -3 Two of the members that voted for the HCP have ties to environmental driven organizations. The chair Jim Kelly and Chandra Ferrari both have environmentalist backgrounds. The HCP will lock up state forests for 70 years. Here is a video about the HCP as well as 4 testimonies including one from Betsy Johnson. HCP Video There is an explanation of what the HCP is and links in the description if you would like to learn more. The failings of this board vote is that they do not have any plan to replace the funding that will be lost by closing the forests down. There are currently 15 counties that rely on funding. ONRI (Oregon Natural Resource Industries) as well as a school district are working on plans of how to fight this. This decision will effect ALL Oregonians. Why? Because there is no replacement funding, so they will be expecting us to replace the lost funds. Please respect the voice of the people. Thank you | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. After enduring the freezing winter storm in January, my February utility bill came out to a skyrocketing $285. My roommates and I are already feeling the financial repercussions of the rate increase that went into effect this January 2024. Due to this high utility bill, my roommates and I have had to cut back on other necessary monthly expenses including food and medical. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. At a personal level, we were without power for eight days during the storm, due to poor maintenance of trees in our area. They have never properly maintained the trees near the power lines in our neighborhood and we and several of our neighbors sent them a letter stating that Aspaltum(?), their contractor does a terrible job. Our house got down to below 40 F, we used our gas stove to heat water on the stove, otherwise it would have been colder. The gas heat doesn't work without a spark from electricity. PGE increased rates last year by a huge amount. Their problems should not be ours and they want more money for profits not just the maintenance they have failed to maintain. They have forgotten they are a public corporation with responsibilities to their customers, not to gouge us for corporate profits. PGE can claim anything they want but the reality is their problems should not be resolved with more profits and that is what this rate case is about, $17 million for batteries, I get that, but after 30% increase in the past two years and yet they want another $107 million, that is $90 million to profits. Really, is that something that should be our responsibility? They are already allowed a large profit margin as a public company to provide continuous power. My pension doesn't go up at anything close to their request, who is going to bail me out? I hope it is you! You are supposed to be the -Public- utility commission not their cosigner on their profits. Please dismiss this case and let them sort their stock price concerns by becoming a dependable corporation. Rick Silverman Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

The last 3 increases have had a huge impact on citizens. As someone on a fixed income, my income does not increase consistent with the rate hike. It seems with the previous approved rate increases there should have been some forethought to set aside some funds to cover the current need. While I appreciate the thought that PGE has for the future, there needs to be some realistic thought about what the users can afford. An unlimited rate increase is unrealistic. | |||||

Their CEO, Maria Pope, got a 25% salary increase this year (2024) too. Now they want to raise rates a further 7.4% in 2025 to pay for "upgrades". That's what the raise this year was supposed to be for. I'm going to be living by candle light this time next year if they keep up the way they're going. Nobody can afford these raises and we do not have a need for Energy Storage capacity in Oregon. Which is what the proposed "upgrades" are meant for. Maria Pope needs to lose her job and PGE needs to quit being so Greedy. | ||

PGE raised rates 21.9% for the first 1000 kWh already. It is time to be more rational about the very high cost of battery backup and other mandates on PGE that force them to have more expensive power. That is, stop allowing them to do things that are very high cost. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. You should however be helping to make customers that allow tall trees, that are a wind and fire hazard to be responsible for their own choices. We have had absurd levels of fire damage awarded to people that in part caused the problem themselves. I should not be paying $ to these people thru my PGE rates!

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

PGE has demonstrated their negligence in ensuring equipment safety with the recent wildland fires that resulted in damage to consumers’ properties. How are we holding them accountable for their negligence? The potential monopoly is becoming quite evident. The economy is suffering and I hope you reconsider the huge impact this will have on all consumers. Awarding them $202 million in 2024 does not protect consumers. Thank you. | |||||
| UE 435-609 | 3/20/2024 5:37:38 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Cassandra | Crandall | SILVERTON | The people of Oregon especially PGE customers have been hit hard enough with inflation, let alone the electric rates that have become unbearable with the last round increases. My family has good paying jobs and I do not think we could survive another increase. The proposed increase would be detrimental to most households regardless of socioeconomic status. If this increase is allowed I predict that you will see more accidents when people are forced to find alternative ways to heat their homes ie bbqs (I know how wrong this is but we all know it happens) and fireplaces that have not been maintained. The customers should not shoulder the greed of shareholders, the lack of system maintenance that has now made the grid inferior, and the push for Electric vehicles. PGE and other large utility companies see great profits each year, why should they profit even more when so much is at stake for the people of Oregon.

They have just had an increase, and I don't believe for one minute that the claims on what they plan to do with this latest money grab is legit.

| UE 435-612 | 3/20/2024 1:21:17 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Sandy | Richards | ESTACADA | PGE Rate Hike: The previous rate hike of 17%: WE are not sure from what past billing amount the % was calculated from. We have an1800 square foot manufactured home in very good condition. There are three of us. Our bill after the hike was $494. Wood is our main source of heat because we could barely afford the current billing. I don't have access to all past billings but cannot recall any amount that would justify $494. We have an upgraded thermostat and heat pump suggested by PGE for usage savings. Additionally, we live in the Riverside Fire area. Because our homeowner insurance has rated us in a high-risk area, our insurance has gone from just over $1000 to $3500. Clackamas County has reassessed our area this year. Property taxes will most likely go up. A new school Bond will be on the November ballot. I fully support it, but that is another added cost. My husband retires at the end of this year. Our income will be cut in half because we will then need to pay our own health insurance. PGE workers, especially lineman, are amazing and are very appreciated of them, but something needs to give. Please review upper-level PGE staff salary, bonuses, perks as a consideration before any further hikes. Possibly have an independent agency audit PGE contracts with contractors. We do not support further rate hikes. | ||

No one can afford full upgrades all at once, but I would think a known trouble area not just repaired but fitted to avoid future ice storms, wind and fire would be doable. It seems very similar to the roads and schools. Somehow waste money doing the minimum as it occurs then cry for more money later. | ||

The accommodations do help those in dire need, but, more rate hikes wil put more people in the qualifying bracket.

There has not been any updates to equipment or security of power during natural disaster/storms. It does not make sense to have billion dollar profits, yet request an increase. Pge should utilize thier resources they already have and profits they already earn to do what they propose. We are all barely making it with how expensive everything is, none of us have rainy day funds like pge.. so instead of digging into our pockets deeper, let them dig into thier own. People on a fixed income or poor, low, moderate middle class cannot take anymore increased for our basic needs. Think they should take a few years off from increases and let the rest of us catch our breath. | ||

| UE 435-63 | 3/1/2024 8:23:24 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Steven | MARKER | FAIRVIEW | Good morning, i am Steve Marker, City Councillor for the City of Fairview, first i would like to say that during the winter weather we had, our utility companies in my view did the best they could do under the circumstances. My concerns are centered around rate increases for PGE and NW Natural. Being retired and on a limited income makes it difficult. I dont get compensated for being a city councillor and had to apply for income qualification for both NW Natural and PGE and this makes me undestand as an elected official how hard it is for our elderly and income challenged residence. One of my concerns is we live in an area because of our dams and electrical facilities that we should not be paying a huge amount for electricity. I understand PGE'S issues, but if we allow another 7 pct rate increase that will really break the backs of our folks who are income challenged. I would welcome a representative from the PUC to help us understand why we pay so much when we live in the NW where hydro electric power is plentiful. I Chose PGE but would welcome a rep from NW Natural as well. | ||

Which would only make sense that they be tax funded rather than extorted for profit. Even so, rate increases in the last couple of years could be covered by a small fraction of a singular shareholder's annual income. Furthermore how is it justified that rates for residents using utilities for survival are increased more than commercial rates using them for capital gains?

| UE 435-647 | 3/8/2024 4:30:55 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Kenneth | Tam | PORTLAND | Here is a template; Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am writing to express my profound concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent announcement of rate increases by Portland General Electric (PGE). As a resident of Portland, living at 911 SW 21st Ave. I have been a loyal customer of PGE, relying on their services for my daily needs. It has come to my attention that PGE plans to increase their pricing rates. This decision is particularly disheartening because it seems to disregard the current economic challenges faced by many Oregonians, myself included. The lack of significant infrastructure improvements or movements to justify such an increase adds to my frustration. Moreover, despite these proposed rate hikes, I, along with other residents, continue to experience frequent power outages, which further questions the rationale behind increasing the financial burden on consumers. The absence of tangible enhancements in service delivery and infrastructure, coupled with the continuous inconvenience of power disruptions, raises concerns about the justification for this rate adjustment. It is crucial for utility providers like PGE to ensure that any increase in rates is matched with proportional improvements in service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, I urge the Oregon Public Utility Commission to thoroughly review PGE's proposal for rate increases. It is essential to ensure that any adjustments are reasonable, justified by concrete improvements, and considerate of the economic impact on Oregon residents. I look forward to your response and hope for a favorable review of this matter. Please consider the implications of these rate increases on consumers like myself, who depend on PGE for essential services but are left questioning the value and reliability of these services in light of recent developments. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for advocating on behalf of Oregon's utility consumers. | ||
| UE 435-648 | 3/8/2024 4:57:36 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Steve | Albert | FOREST GROVE | Utilities need to make a return on its investment. Over the years PGE et al have paid out dividends and made huge payments to executives. Now, they find themselves in need of money to improve the infrastructure. They had an obligation to improve that infrastructure prior to paying the dividends and executive pay. We the rate payers now have provide those needed funds. Enough! Any rate increase should only increase at the rate of inflation. Do not approve any more rate hikes until the utilities become more responsible. | ||

The 18% increase in 2024 plus the proposed 7.4% increase in 2025 means a more than 42% increase in total since 2021." This is untenable. Of course cost of living increases over time. Everyone understands this. Salaries do increase somewhat to go along with this. I do not know any whose salary has increased by anything close to FORTY-TWO PERCENT over the course of four years. How is the average person supposed to meet this kind of increase? It is particularly galling considering Maria Pope's compensation of well over $6M. it is shameful that she would be willing to accept accept a six-figure salary, blithely asking for yet another increase, while knowing that so many people are struggling to make ends meet year after year, increase after increase.

| UE 435-657 | 3/9/2024 3:03:00 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Jeff | Jones | OREGON CITY | We understand utility companies need to raise rates. But can't these rate increases be done in smaller increments, so the impact is not so difficult for those of us on fixed incomes to absorb? The latest rate increase of 18% was just too much all at once. We are retired living in a 1200 sq ft home with vinyl windows and partial insulation (we lived through the years of turning your lights off when you left the room and we continue to practice this). We are now going to insulate the balance of the home to, hopefully, help with future heating and cooling costs. But we will also have to work our budget to include this added upgrade, all the while budgeting for the current rate increase. We went back through the last five years of PGE billings and our billings have increased by approximately 47%! In five years! We have the documentation to show this. Now, we understand that PGE is asking for another rate increase for 2025 of 7.5%! Please, reconsider this. With food, gas, insurance, medical, drug costs skyrocketing, there are so many people in our State that are hurting financially. PGE's increases are going to literally put people out of their homes. We simply won't be able to afford to pay all of our utility bills. Again, please reconsider the 2025 rate hike request by PGE. Thank you. Jeff and Jill Jones | ||

Yes, these group deserve to make a decent return on investment but NOT if they are not managing their respective portfolio properly! For water, these bozos decided it was better to build out a brand new delivery system but had no money to do so. What to do... hell, just rake the rate payers and force them to pay for the buildout (I was never sure it was really necessary or just something they wanted to do?). And, now our electric grid suppliers have mismanaged their care of their utility infrastructure and we get to pay for their mismanagement! In your reviews of their rate increases and the need to maintain an adequate ROI, if they aren't doing their job, just whey should we, the rate payers, have to pay for their incompetence? And, ROI is based on costs and income. Just how has PGE managed its executive cost? Are they raking in gigantic bonus's for convincing you to approve huge rate hikes?

People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough. Sincerely, Mx.

| UE 435-68 | 3/1/2024 10:15:51 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Brenda | Cyrus | COLTON | I just read an article in the Statesman Journal that PGE has filed papers asking for yet another rate increase next year. PGE increased electric rates by 14.8% in 2023 and 18% in January of this year. That is already a 32.8% increase in 2 years. If allowed to raise rates again next year the total rate increase would be 40.2% in 3 years. This is an unacceptable increase for most working families. My electric bill is already the most expensive monthly expense I have. As a widow raising an autistic grandchild I have limited income and another increase in electric rates will be untenable. We have already stopped using electric heating as I can not afford. PGE posted a net income of $228 million for 2023 while I make less than $50,000 a year. Please deny PGE's latest request to increase our electric rates. Many of us are already barely able to make ends meet as it is, increasing electric rates again will make it impossible.

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough. Sincerely, Mr Ben Golder 3606 SW NEVADA Portland, OR 97219 floopjoos@gmail.com | |||||
| UE 435-687 | 3/11/2024 4:25:19 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Linda | Monahan | TIGARD | I am writing to express concerns about the recent and future PGE rate increases. We invested in solar panels to mitigate the rising cost of energy. Even so, our bill went up 11%, not based on utilization. PGE supplies electricity, a basic need for Oregonian consumers. PGE is a business to make a profit and pass dividends on to shareholders. PGE provides electricity to their former employees at a reduced rate. Consumers should not have to bear the full cost of building out infrastructure and insuring against wild fires. Consumers don't have provider choice for electricity. PGE's efforts to provide subsidies to low income consumers is a joke. I implore you to NOT grant PGE's proposed rate increase for 2025. | ||

Particularly in the dense urban environment of metro Portland in particular, I observe major road infrastructure projects CONSTATNLY undertaken without any provision made to underground the overhead wiring which would have ample opporunity to place infrastructure with trenching open. Why are we spending endless amounts of ratepayer funding on constantly replacing overhead wiring that WILL fail and further cause the kinds of fire danger seen over the last several years? Its time to move to the 21st century and underground these facilities. I know its "more expensive" but the phrase 'buy once, cry once' springs to mind. | ||
| UE 435-693 | 3/13/2024 3:28:27 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Anthony | A | BORING | Hello, Hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to encourage and I'm sure that you are, but I want folks to really think about this fast rollout of net zero initiatives related to utilities and where we get our power from. The rates are becoming unaffordable for power, water, and natural gas that you are trying to get rid of. Can we really put this much cost on the customer? I know you will be seeking grant and other revenue sources to help set up infrastructure and ease the burden, but the fact is that rates for Portland Water will go up 50% in the next few years, PGE just raised 40% in the past two years, NW Natural is up, trash and recycling are up, inflation for fuel and groceries, it's a lot for most folks to manage. I'm feeling the pressure making 130K a year with no real debt other than my home. I just really think we need to think long term about how we roll these "requirements" out so we are spreading out these costs more thoughtfully, especially for anyone making 100k or less, 100k is the new middle class. Also, what is the anticipated demand and are we actually going to meet it with renewable energy sources? What is the real cost of all of this? Is this being communicated in a real way to customers? Why are we not looking at nuclear when it's renewable and a better solution that wind and solar which have clear limits for consistent output? Do we have back up plans, why are we not utilizing everything we can to offset these costs? Everyone is so focused on going green that we're not looking at how it impacts peoples lives financially and if it is actually a viable option. Can our grid handle it especially with phasing out gas and coal, and then will have infrastructure in place to meet this demand by the time you require it? | ||

Inflation, interest rates, food, housing, rent, & gas prices have all been on the continual rise, & now, PGE wants to raise prices every single year, enough is enough! We all need better solutions, maybe make PGE a true non-profit, or maybe have the state purchase the majority of PGE stock so PGE does not feel like investors always need a >9% return on their investment in order to be financially competitive, maybe pass price caps through the oregon state legislature, maybe raise energy rates only on Businesses, government agencies, & the rich who are able to absorb the increases much easier then Private Residential Households, the elderly, disabled, low income, & the pore. When an electric customer has done everything possible to lower their electrical usage/bill, (turned off all their heaters, uses a single heating pad in bed to stay warm), then they are at their breaking point! There has to be better solutions out there, somewhere, then to keep raising prices on people who can NOT afford it anymore, even with PGEs discount programs. And lastly, change the electric shutoff temperature requirement from 32F to 39.5F, why? Because its just as easy to freeze to death from hypothermia, below 40F, as it is at 32F or below. | ||

If approved, this amounts to a 25% increase in rates over the last 2 years. It is a obnoxious request to place on the general public.

| UE 435-708 | 3/18/2024 11:40:33 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Callie | Sacarelos | PORTLAND | Portland General Electric’s customers have already seen a 30% increase in power bills since 2022. And now the official consumer advocacy group Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board is asking the state’s utility regulator to reject a new 7.4% rate hike, which would take effect in January 2025. An analysis by the consumer group found that upwards of ******90% of the rate increase would go toward greater profits for PGE shareholders and other uses forbidden by regulators.***** Another rate increase proposed by Portland General Electric last week has many customers up in arms, wondering how they’re going to afford paying their bills. If approved by the Oregon Public Utility Commission, it would add up to about a 40% increase in PGE’s power rates since January 2022. Pacific Power customers are also feeling the pain. If the utility’s latest rate proposal is approved, they’re looking at a 50% increase since January 2023. Wildfire mitigation is the biggest driver of Pacific Power’s proposed rate increase – it includes a proposed “Catastrophic Fire Fund” to cover the utility’s liability for wildfires. A jury in Oregon has found the company was grossly negligent and reckless, awarding millions in damages. Pacific Power residential customers have already seen two double digit increases and likely will see a third one next year. In January 2023, their bills went up by 21%; this January, they rose by 12.9%; and last month Pacific Power proposed a 17.9% rate hike that would go into effect next January. One of the big questions is whether customers should pay the wildfire litigation bill. There’s a fundamental question whether it’s legal to charge customers for those damages. If a court puts punitive damages on a company and that company is just allowed by regulators to pass those punitive damages on to customers, who’s being punished? | ||

| UE 435-717 | 3/7/2024 1:43:04 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Kevin | Sprague | CORBETT | As a Corbett resident that was impacted by the recent severe weather, I strongly oppose PGEs requests for rate increases. PGE has proven to be a poor steward of public utilities and consumer funds to ensure safe, efficient access to power. Their choices have proven to be careless and irresponsible causing distress and life threatening circumstances to our community. The price hikes are another example of wanting to bolster profits without taking the appropriate actions to prevent future system failures. The weather that caused the outages is not new and reasonable steps should’ve been taken all year to prepare for the season. Before price increases are granted, a formalized plan needs to be reviewed and enacted by PGE to ensure that their system is prepared for the weather in the areas they operate and to reduce fire risk with minimal disruption to its customers. The reason they don’t take these steps is because they are more expensive and will cut into profits and this is unacceptable. I’ve come from areas with more severe weather including wind and ice and they do not have issues since the utilities are run through the city rather than a private company. We need to hold this company accountable for their actions and the very real risk they put our community in each year. No power for days in subzero temperatures is dangerous for many individuals. We look to the PUC to ensure they are responsible stewards of our utilities. Thank you for the time and consideration while reviewing this request. | ||

Not every weather related event affects Electric companies and the ones that do should have a contingency plan setup. The oregonians would like to see exactly what upgrades are being supposed and if they are necessary. We would also like to see how the weather has directly affected PGE over a period of 2 decades and see if there are some years that are worse than others and if it balances out over time.

How much does CEO Maria Pope of PGE make? $5,480,355.00 in 2021 according to the ERI economic research institute. And what has her annual increase been each year? But you need to take even MORE money from the public who are not even making a living wage and work multiple jobs to fund a cost of doing business??? Absolutely NO increase should even be considered. You need to be decreasing the amount they are able to charge. I also think it is odd that when I’ve called to ask about high electric bill amounts I’m told to do a test to see what is using the energy in my house at what times, yet the following month after I call my bill decreases… I find it odd when this has happened twice… | ||
| UE 435-721 | 3/7/2024 6:43:06 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | David | Johnston | HILLSBORO | After switching to the time-of-use plan with Portland General Electric, I spent some time trying to decode the now much more complicated bill. It is clear that PGE are lying about their rates on their web page at https://portlandgeneral.com/about/info/pricing-plans/time-of-use/time-of-use-pricing-home . The web page states the low, mid and peak rates per KWh are 5.16c, 21.031c and 27.693c respectively. In my bills, the per KWh prices are actually 8.651c, 16.029c and 41.431c. This includes the additional non-time-of-day charges that are still per KWh along with the transmission and distribution charges that they have broken out, separately listed and not included in the web page. Accordingly my electric rates are significantly higher than I anticipated based on the misleading information that PGE are psting. In addition, for each of the 24 line items they include, covering at least 6 different methods of charging (9 time of day charges, per-KWh charges, capped per-KWh, flat rate, percentage of the bill and percentage of something else not described in the bill), the bill is computed by computing the line item, rounding to two the nearest cent for each line item, then adding the line items after rounding, rather than computing to sufficient decimal places, adding, then rounding.

| UE 435-722 | 3/7/2024 10:58:34 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | James | Winkler | BEAVERTON | Public Utility Commission I understand our rates have increased 17-18% this year and PGE is requesting another 8% increase by 2025. Although I do understand that PGE is ramping up their climate chaos resilience for the region, I do not think they are doing enough to keep up with the realities that human induced climate change is causing and how the damage will exponentially increase over the years to come. According to the plans presented, Portland General Electric anticipates it will spend around $50.6 million this year in wildfire mitigation and capital expenditures. That sounds like a lot of money, but being born raised and now raising a family of my own in Oregon, I do not believe PGE is spending enough to prepare our region for what’s to come. Though anecdotal, the 2023 winter storm that put thousands out of power due to down trees and power lines is a most recent example of our lack of resilience, and that happened in the most populated area of PGE’s jurisdiction. As a teacher in SW Portland, we are still impacted by this outage, as the lack of heat destroyed two large schools (Markham and Robert Gray). I believe it would be worth while for the PUC to find ways for rate payers to access emergency power to keep homes and public buildings heated so that we are not dealing with more bursted pipes, or medical device failures, etc. we should all have access to Generators, solar panels, power walls etc. for these emergencies; however the up front costs are unaffordable for many if not most rate payers. I know you all are doing the best you can for rate payers, and I understand that the utilities have to make money for their share holders and CEO exuberant pay, but there is a general sense that the ratepayers are getting screwed again. | ||

I have to choose between rent and food already. I have to pay power every other month when I bonus. I have a very well paying job and live in a tiny apartment. If you raise the power AGAIN you are going to see unprecedented deaths. Stop punishing the poor because these ceos know how to deliver a pretty pitch. | ||||

| UE 435-727 | 3/9/2024 12:06:34 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Whitney | V | CORNELIUS | It is wrong to increase the rates, you are forcing people that are already living paycheck to paycheck to choose between feeding their family or having power. There are people that are close to being homeless because of all the price hikes. The problem is companies say it's for the greater good and for improvements, when really they sit in their high paying positions living comfortably making 6+ digits a year while the middle class is becoming the low class and the low class is becoming the poor and almost homeless. Instead of padding the paychecks of those in charge, maybe skip the rate increases and actually care about people. I am sick and tired of companies that have CEOs making hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars a year and not care about paying their employees better or increasing prices to keep their money coming. CEOs need to have an adjustment and give living like us a try for a year and see how it feels. They wouldn't last the full year being able to live. We have health and family we need to worry about, we can't worry about being able to make it to the next paycheck. DO BETTER! | ||

This last price increase is too much for so much of our community to afford. The price of infrastructure maintenance and upgrades should come from the company’s profit, not the pockets of the customers. If they receive allowance for another pay increase next year then even more of their profits will be funded directly by tax funded initiatives essentially giving this private company our tax dollars directly. As is, their prices and fees need to be lowered and their costs of business falling on the shareholders instead of the general public unable to choose who their electricity, a necessary amenity, comes from. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-75 | 3/1/2024 3:21:03 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Gaynell | Thornbrough | WELCHES | I am a customer of PGE. We have just had an increase of 18% and now I see that they have filed for another increase. I really feel that this needs to be denied! If they are already willing to assist people with the current increase then this shows that another will only add more of a financial burden on all. My husband and I like a lot of other people are retired and living on a tight budget and our income doesn't cover everything. If we need to live with in our current income, then so should our utility companies. Please, do not approve this increase!!! | ||

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-77 | 3/1/2024 4:25:40 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Pia | Allabastto | PORTLAND | I want to express my opposition to any further rate increases for Portland General Electric customers at this time. The recent hike was quite substantial and has placed a a great hardship for many people. If a rate hike is considered, I believe the public deserves to hear about salary and compensation packages gor PGE executives along with a clear overview over how current funds are being allocated within PGE. I strongly disagree with citizens financing high salaries for officials providing a public utility service and question whether current resources are being effectively managed. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

And, the news is reporting these same utilities are back at the money trough looking for ever more money. What the heck is going on here? They are making the cost of energy unaffordable to many of us, especially those like me who have retired! Please do you job and hold back on approving these types of rate increases..... let them take the cost out of their existing funding and rates! Maybe their execs don't really deserve million dollar compensation packages,,,,ya think! | ||

Please we are low income and have the discount but even with that discount the bill this month was $145. If the bills keep going up we will be homeless. This is greed. | ||

Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago.

| UE 435-84 | 3/1/2024 7:09:28 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Aaron | Hensley | HAPPY VALLEY | Another rate increase proposed? Let me understand this, PGE lobbies to get rid of gas utilities and pushes for more reliance on electricity (electric cars as 1 example), giving them more market share and effectively eliminating any form of competition then at the same time raises rates with the excuse that they do not have the infrastructure to support the additional electricity required for the items they lobbied for and the consumer is stuck with no voice and no recourse? Electricity is no longer a luxury like when it is first made available, it is a necessity. PUC I was already disappointed in how you handled the 2022,2023, and 2024 increases. A statement needs to be made to PGE that like every company they need to budget what they already have more effectively and we will not allow more increases for the foreseeable future. PUC you have a responsibility to the consumers not PGE, if the individuals that make up the PUC are not up to the task of standing up for citizens rights to affordable utilities please resign and let someone that is willing step in. | ||

| UE 435-87 | 3/2/2024 8:11:21 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | General Comment | Web | Trina | Voss | ESTACADA | My electric bill is averaging $550 a month. And about to go up AGAIN. PGE is making over $220 Million dollars in profit, and about to raise rates again. We're looking at over 40% increases over a couple of years. While power goes out for days, or weeks. We have ONE choice for electricity. People DIE during extreme weather incidents because they can't access or afford heat or cooling. And the rates are going up again. Allowing them to raise the rates again is failing to protect Oregoneans who have a choice of using PGE or living without running water (many of us are on wells), light, heating and cooling. Make them use some of that profit to secure the upgrades. | ||

As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

| UE 435-88 | 3/2/2024 8:26:27 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Paige | Barletta | PORTLAND | PGE wants to raise rates by 25% in 2 years. This is unacceptable. They need to be audited to prove where the allotment of funds go, how much bonuses they get, and how to justify the raises explicitly. Their price gauging is untenable while the CEO makes 50+ million a year, and they are approved 235 million bonuses for 10,000 people. This is a public service, we deserve representation and a stand against this monopoly. | ||

| UE 435-89 | 3/2/2024 10:33:19 AM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Joshua | Cook | SCOTTS MILLS | Over the last few years the rate at which PGE charges for electricity has increased 42%. If this is approved it will go to 49% (when compounding is accounted for) whereas my income has only gone up $1/hr. My last power bill was $388. Doing the math there, the same bill before the rates started to skyrocket would’ve been $270. That means I have to work an additional 110 hours a month or 25 hours a week just to break even from where I would’ve been a few years ago. These rates are forcing us into poverty at an alarming pace. Additionally, PGE profited somewhere around $250 million last year which goes directly to their investors. This is a great indicator that they do not need to increase rates to accomplish that which they claim they will use the additional revenue from the 7.4% rate hike they are proposing. I’m asking, no begging, that you deny this request and any future requests for at least the next several years to allow us hard working folks the chance to catch up. | ||

It is becoming nearly impossible as a small business owner to afford staying open. The hikes it electric feels like you are pushing out local business for bigger companies that the people of Portland don’t want here. Please consider supporting your local people vs. huge corporations. As a PGE customer, I strongly encourage the Commission to reject PGE’s request to raise rates by 7.2% for Oregon households. Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024.

We can barely afford to keep our apartment heated after the 2024 increase and will have to leave the city if utilities keep increasing at this rate along with rent. Corporate greed is affecting the people who love this city, and we have no alternatives as PGE has a monopoly on the area. Please do not allow them to squeeze every penny of our paychecks just to have heat and basic necessities. | ||

The latest bill for my family of four who lives rural with an electric furnace we NEVER use was $388. When we moved to our home in 2022, the same usage would have cost us $271. Neither my husband who works private sector or myself who is a government employee have received any wage increase to help offset the rising cost of living. Electricity is a necessity.

| UE 435-937 | 3/26/2024 3:09:13 PM | PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC | Oppose Docket | Web | Torsten | Kieper | WEST LINN | I am a PGE customer and I oppose the rate increase proposed by PGE. I do not believe that the addition of these battery storage resources actually improves their system reliability in the way that they claim. PGE has a history of not fully relying on its peaking resources during winter outages, because PGE's distribution system also tends to experience widespread unplanned outages. Put differently, PGE doesn't need to shed load or call on its most expensive resources (like the Peak Time Rebates program) during winter events, because nature takes care of the load shedding for them, through downed trees and iced lines. etc. No amount of additional storage or peaking generation is going to solve that problem - PGE needs to be focused on developing a reliable distribution system, using modern conductors that allow for more efficient use of the system, rather than rate-basing expensive storage resources under the guise of "reliability" when in fact they will likely never be called upon during an extreme cold weather event until PGE undergrounds its lines. Until then, it would be much more productive for PGE to be focused on conservation and demand-response based solutions. These solutions may not come with the same capital expenditure and rate-base as a BESS, so I understand why they are not as appealing to an investor-owned utility such as PGE, but the proven track record of these solutions at BPA - both for energy efficiency and non-wires solutions - demonstrates that they improve system reliability at less cost than new storage or generation resources. Authorizing an increase in the rate of return for PGE investors rewards bad behavior on the backs of PGE ratepayers who have already experienced a 30% rate increase in less than two years. PGE has not invested in its distribution system in a way that has improved system reliability in the years that I have lived here. Until they do that, I don't see what the investors have done to earn greater rewards. | ||

Thousands of PGE customers are still reeling from the rate increase and ice storm bills this January. PGE’s rates for Oregon households have already gone up by 30% from December 2022 to January 2024. People cannot afford these increases. Now is not the time to entertain PGE’s unreasonable request to raise bills. We are counting on you, the Commission, to put a stop to this and protect customers like me. PGE has requested $202 million (7.2%) under the guise of needing more money for battery storage projects. Only about $17 million is for battery storage. Instead, this case is a wishlist for management and includes many issues the Commission rejected just months ago. We cannot keep allowing utilities to continuously ask for the same bad policy over and over again. Please dismiss this case and tell PGE that enough is enough.

The kind of capital investments in UE 435 should be funded instead by a temporary bond, not a permanent rate increase. Battery technology is still improving dramatically, and PGE should pursue it. However, it should not be pursued if the only mechanism to support battery implementation in PGE’s infrastructure is through a rate increase. | ||
