💡Pacific Power customers in Yakima see a 7.9% rate decrease starting today

If you get your electricity from Pacific Power, your bill should shrink just as the heater kicks on. The utility announced an overall 7.9% rate decrease for Washington customers, including those in Yakima and Walla Walla, starting Nov. 7, 2026. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved the change.

A typical residential customer could pay $12.14 less per month. The decrease comes through the Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism, a filing designed to make sure rates reflect actual power costs, so bills go down when the costs of delivering power do.

“We understand affordability is a top concern for our customers.”
