Portland Oregon

Credits and taxes excluded, but those two seem to cancel each other out.

We used 774 kW this past month. We are in our 3rd heat wave this week- so we’ve had the central air on pretty much constantly in the past month. If I lived where you did, I’d be paying that tier 2 rate. Even if you didn’t have a basic rate, working that into my cost per kW would only add a penny.
