Withover $310 million in net revenue, it seems absurd to hike rates once more. My PGE bill is already over $300 a month (closer to $400). This is highly unaffordable. I make too much for assistance, but not enough to have the rate keep increasing. NO MORE INCREASES.
8/6/2025 9:15:00 AM	Oppose Docket	Samantha	Larson	in the last 4 years PGE has raised rates so high its hard for people to afford basic needs like electricity. Raising electricity rates will cause even more of a hardship on people. Between cost of utilities and cost of living people can't afford to even live here anymore. Rates don't need raised they make more than enough money off customers.
8/6/2025 9:37:33 AM	Oppose Docket	Abigail	Hicks	I oppose this proposal. Many are already struggling to afford their PGE bills. PGE has hit historic rates of power shut offs due to people being unable to afford their power bills. PGE had earned $313 million just last year according to Google. That is a 37.3% profit gain from the previous year. Its clear PGE is just trying to pad their pockets instead of using the money they already earned to make improvements. Rate increases will especially hurt residents in low income communities who are already in severe financial distress with definitely a lot less in their bank accounts then PGE has. I suggest that the PUC puts a pause on any rate increases until wages increase enough that families aren't having to choose between either their electric bill or a roof over their head.

They need to look internally on where to cut cost and save money, not keep asking the public to scrounge up more money to pay for their shortcomings. Its insane how high electric bills are now. Also its a complete monopoly, you can't use another power company. Its either you have power with PGE or no power at all. No to the rate increases.
8/7/2025 9:07:51 AM	General Comment	Katelyn	Goslin	As a native Oregonian, I'm close to having to move due to the cost of living. My electric bill has gone up to $400+ a month in the winter - and our heating system is gas! (We have a 1 story modest home). Electricity is a fundamental human need for communities, not a luxury. Average families, like mine, are fighting to stay afloat while PGE is raking in the $. Stop the madness!
8/7/2025 1:57:41 PM	Oppose Docket	r	b	I oppose all rate increases - PGE has been raising our rates a lot if you look at the increases on a cumulative amount i now pay as much for my monthly electricity as i did for my monthly house payment PUC and PGE are not being responsible with the grid in our state - The rate increases are not properly being noted to the customers every PGE bill should include a chart showing the rate increases in percentages over the last 2 decades - be more transparent as the jumble of data currently shown is over confusing and in effect not transparent

3/31/2026 9:02:22 PM	Oppose Docket			Well done PUC for accepting yet another bribe from PGE to let this go through
4/2/2026 8:00:43 AM	Oppose Docket			I can't believe the PUC has approved another rate hike for PGE. After the previous illegal rate hikes
4/7/2026 12:32:23 AM	General Comment			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 3134 se 150th 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. Christina Maples
4/7/2026 12:32:25 AM	General Comment			Will you xplain to struggling Oregonians why you allowed PGE to raise our rates AGAIN??? Explain to us why you're taking food off our tables. Enough is enough! I have already decided I will not vote for Kotek again; knowing she appointed the 3 of you on this board just reinforces that decision. None of you care about struggling Oregonians. As a lifelong Democrat, I'm so disgusted that the current Oregon State government has forced me to vote Republican in Oregons next elections. Thanks a lot for raising those rates. You 3 can leave with Tina!! Debra K.
4/7/2026 12:32:28 AM	General Comment			So explain to me, why are bill is going up 5% go ahead?Explain. I tell you what I will send you five percent of whatever my bill is as a bill for you to pay me back Or should I send it to kotex? You tell me who's better to pay. I'm pretty much sick of you guys nickel and diming us us to death.
4/7/2026 12:32:31 AM	General Comment			A news item on the radio this morning reported that the Oregon Utilities Commission approved PGE's most recent rate hike request. This has to be a joke, right? What pet projects are they funding on the backs of users? PGE is CONTINUALLY raising rates, and we consumers have absolutely no recourse. Electricity costs are becoming unbearable, especially for those of us on fixed incomes. Jackie Scott
4/11/2026 9:56:45 AM	Oppose Docket	Mel	Zillick	I cant belive you keep letting electric utilities escalate our bills. - They’re using most of this funding for building systems like data centers that dont help those of us paying bills. - For those of us at the base of the pyramid this is wrecking our lives - Weve had 3 outages in the last year and none of them were during winter storms. It takes our time and sometimes money to hire people to come set things back up - As a result of this when it’s time to switch my gas furnace over I’ll be replacing it with gas! - You seem to not really be concerned with us and they keep selling you on their need what about ours? Both PGE and Pacific Corp lobbied to remove community solar in OR, if they cared about us they wouldn’t have done that and if you cared you wouldn't let them. During this time of high inflation why would you give the more of our money. We have family and friends that have been laid off and are struggling to find jobs yet it makes us wonder do you request info about their workforce and ask them to trim back on executive salaries and bonus first? Probably not. The shame is starting to fall more on you as a commission that is focused more on corporate entities than the people you’re supposed to serve. Shameful!
4/21/2026 12:32:53 AM	General Comment			Re Kristin Sheeran comments: There was a Think Out Loud interview with Kristin Sheeran and Bob Jenks. It was about the recent rate increase for Portland. Ms. Sheeran said that growth and the future had a lot to do with it. I found this to be completely Bullshit considering the vacancy rate in Downtown is still above 30%, the population is not growing and the economy in the Portland area is in decline and worse than the national average by quite a bit. Her comments came across as gaslighting and I totally resented it. We don’t need more rate increases. Sincerely, Patrick R. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone
4/23/2026 8:19:35 PM	Oppose Docket	Stalton	Pale	Here are just some of the headlines in the NYTs today “ Meta to Cut 10% of Work Force in A.I. Push. The layoffs affect about 8,000 employees” “ Microsoft Targets About 7% of Its U.S. Workers With Buyout Offer - The tech giant is offering long-serving employees early retirements as it continues to invest aggressively in artificial intelligence.” “ Nike to Cut 1,400 Jobs as Part of Its Turnaround Plan - Most of the layoffs will affect tech workers” “ Intel’s Revenues Soar, Aided by A.I. Boom” And you all keep giving PGE & PAC the ability to raise their rates, while a recession is inevitable and people keep loosing their jobs, inflation is continuing to raise and low to moderate income households increasingly struggle! What is wrong with you all? Your judgements seem irrational at best and we as average citizens can’t believe that you keep doing this. You, city and state government, the trump administration and all of its coneys keep giving corporations more and more and more power yet you’re giving us absolutely nothing. Get some balls and stand up to these institutions and make them be more physically responsible and stop putting the pain on us!!
