Oregon City electricity and gas rates
Who supplies power and gas to Oregon City houses and what a typical house uses: about 784 kWh of electricity and 54 therms of gas a month.
Electricity: Portland General Electric (PGE)
PGE Schedule 7 residential prices effective July 8, 2026: $13.00 basic charge for 1-phase service, an effective 19.29 cents per kWh for the first 2,000 kWh and 20.40 cents above, plus $1.24 a month low-income assistance and $2.76 per bill (Schedule 118). The effective rate excludes the 1.5% public purpose charge and any privilege or local taxes. Oregon City's right-of-way usage fee for electric utilities is 5% of gross revenue, and under Oregon's rule the part above 3.5% is charged to customers in the city as a separate line on their bills.
| Charge | Price |
|---|---|
| Fixed charge | $17.49 a month |
| First 2000 kWhs a month | 19.86¢ |
| Next kWhs above 2000 a month | 21.00¢ |
Gas: NW Natural
Rate Schedule 2, single-family residential, effective October 31, 2025: $10.00 customer charge plus $1.41220 per therm. Oregon City's right-of-way usage fee for natural gas utilities is 5% of gross revenue, and under Oregon's rule the part above 3% is charged to customers in the city as a separate line on their bills. These are the rates in effect now. NW Natural has filed for new Oregon residential rates taking effect October 31, 2026, so gas bills will likely go up after that; they are not included here.
