I'm moving from Portland to McMinnville in a couple of months. Price of kwh goes from $.1945/kwh to about $.0720. I've noticed that McMinnville Water & Light doesn't help pay for EV connections, etc. compared to Portland General Electric but at almost 1/3rd the cost, they probably don't need to.
MW&L is community-owned, PGE is traded on the NYSE. They both buy a ton of hydro from the Bonneville Power Administration.

Actual per kwh rate is cheaper but there's a $16.10 customer charge to have an account. https://www.mc-power.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/pdf/rates/Residential-2023.pdf https://www.mc-power.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/pdf/ra...

- oooyay 3y agoYeah, this is the move, imo. I think once my mortgage goes positive I'm going to look at where to go next. This is not worth it.
