PacifiCorp rate plans
2 residential plans are currently open to new customers that we can price side by side. Some charge different prices depending on the hour — which is where most of the savings hide.
What does PacifiCorp cost at a normal month’s usage?
A household using 1,000 kWh a month pays about $1,601 a year on the cheapest of the 6 plans we can price here — Schedule 1 (Residential Service - Single Phase, multi family) — and $1,779 on the priciest. Same house, same wires.
| A month of | Cheapest, a year | On which plan | Priciest |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh | $770 | Schedule 1 (Residential Service - Single Phase, multi family) | $963 |
| 1,000 kWh | $1,601 | Schedule 1 (Residential Service - Single Phase, multi family) | $1,779 |
| 2,000 kWh | $3,264 | Schedule 1 (Residential Service - Single Phase, multi family) | $3,414 |
The same plan is cheapest at every level of use here, so the answer does not turn on how much you use. Estimates from the filed tariff, priced hour by hour on a household with central air — not a quote.
How much does the plan you pick actually matter here?
Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through every plan PacifiCorp files in Utah, and the bill lands anywhere between $1,308 and $1,432 a year. That $124 spread is not a difference in electricity — it is the same kilowatt-hours, from the same wires, priced under different rules. Nobody sends you a letter when you are on the wrong side of it.
Those figures describe Utah, because comparing across zones would be misleading: your zone is set by where you live, not by anything you can choose. The plan lists further down are grouped the same way, so compare inside your own group — your bill names it.
1 of these 2 plans price by the hour. Those are the ones where moving laundry, dishes, or car charging into the cheap window changes the bill; on the rest, the clock is irrelevant and only the total matters. Which camp you belong in is the first question worth settling, because it decides whether shifting your day is worth anything at all.
How PacifiCorp compares across Wyoming
Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through its default plan at each of the 2 Wyoming utilities we cover, and PacifiCorp is the cheapest of the lot at about $1,308 a year; the state median is $1,387. The dearest, High West Energy, charges $1,467 for identical use — a gap set by the address, not by anything either household did.
The other two households tell the same story in different sizes: a small apartment pays about $665 here against a state median of $832, and the same house with an electric car charging overnight about $1,808 against $1,741. Effective rate, fixed charge included, is 13.8¢ per kilowatt-hour for the family home.
Inside PacifiCorp itself, the gap between its cheapest and dearest plan for that house is $124 a year — less than the $159 between Wyoming's cheapest and dearest utilities. Here the address decides most of the bill; the plan decides the rest.

When are PacifiCorp’s peak hours?
PacifiCorp’s peak hours are 7am–9am, 5pm–11pm on 2 of its 6 time-of-use plans — the rest use different windows, below. Everything outside those hours is off-peak.
At peak, 19 Residential Service Time of Use Pilot Single Phase charges 16.1¢ a kWh; off-peak it is 9.9¢ — 1.6× apart. These hours only matter on a time-of-use plan — the default plan, Schedule 1 (Residential Service - Single Phase, single family), charges one rate at every hour.

| Schedule 1 TOU (Residential Service)Utah | 6pm–10pm, June–September | 40.4¢ | 7.9¢ | partly priced |
| Schedule 2E - Residential Service – Electric Vehicle Time-of-Use Pilot Option (Rate Option 1) all phaseUtah | 8am–10am, 3pm–8pm, October–May; 3pm–8pm, June–September | 32.2¢ | 6.6¢ | off-peak all day |
| Schedule 36 - Residential Service Optional TODIdaho | 3pm–11pm, June–October | 15.6¢ | 4.6¢ | partly priced |
| Schedule 4T - Residential Time of UseOregon | 5pm–9pm | 28.9¢ | 10.8¢ | partly priced |
On Schedule 1 TOU, every kilowatt-hour a day you move from 6pm to midnight is worth about $115 a year in the month the gap is widest — an electric car or a water heater on a timer is the kind of load that actually moves. When to charge an electric car →
Which plan would cost you least?
No bill upload, no sign-up. Tell us roughly what a month costs you and what runs on electricity — we price every plan against the same household and show you the gap.
That adds up to 10,715 kWh a year. Compare it to the total on your bill and adjust until it’s close.
Same usage, different plan

That is the gap between the cheapest plan you could be on — 40 Irrigation and Soil Drainage Pumping Power Service Single Phase — and the priciest. Not by using less power. By being billed differently for the same power.

|---|---|---|
| 40 Irrigation and Soil Drainage Pumping Power Service Single PhaseOne rate, every hour of the year. | $785 | — |
| 40 Irrigation and Soil Drainage Pumping Power Service Three PhaseOne rate, every hour of the year. | $844 | +$59 |

An estimate, not a quote. Supply charges move month to month, and your real usage pattern is not exactly this one. What it does show reliably is the gap between plans — both are priced off the same assumptions.
Before you switch anything
- What is a time-of-use electricity rate?
The same kilowatt-hour, priced differently depending on when you use it.
- Should you switch to a time-of-use electricity plan?
A wide peak-to-off-peak gap is a lever, not a saving. Levers need something to move.
