 The Oregon Public Utility Commission has approved rate hike upon rate hike in recent years, and consumers are feeling the pinch. Currently, the list of requests for rate hikes includes those from Idaho Power, which serves about 20,000 customers in Oregon; Portland General Electric, which last had a rate case in 2023; and Northwest Natural and Pacific Power, which both last had a request before the PUC in 2022-2023. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler wrote the agency a formal letter of opposition to the latest Portland General Electric rate. It says that vulnerable residents are not in a position to handle further rate increases, and the impact on the city’s power costs would be unsustainable. We talk to the Oregon PUC Acting Executive Director Nolan Moser to find out how these decisions are made and how the impact on customers is considered.

Sierra Club challenges Pacific Power over wildfire payout policy in Oregon.

Utility customers in Oregon have seen steep rate increases in the past two years – and more are in the works. What gives? Portland General Electric customers saw their bills go up by 18% in January, in addition to a 14.8% rate increase in 2023. Pacific Power customers saw bills increase by 21% at the start of 2023 and by another 12% in January. Pacific Power just filed another rate increase proposal in Oregon seeking a 17% average increase. Idaho Power is also seeking to raise rates by nearly 27% for its eastern Oregon customers. And it's not just electric utility customers who are feeling the pinch. NW Natural gas rates have gone up by over 32% since September 2022. Bob Jenks is executive director of the Oregon Citizens' Utility Board, a nonprofit organization created via a 1984 ballot measure to advocate for all state utility customers. On Beat Check, Jenks talked about why those rates are climbing so steeply, what the future of utility rates is and how climate change and our transition to clean energy and an all-electric future are affecting utilities. Jenks also spoke about flaws in utility regulations and how his organization is working on reforming them. He encouraged lower income customers to apply for the income-qualified utility bill discount programs, but said those programs aren't a panacea to solving the issue of energy affordability. PGE has just expanded its bill discount program to provide up to a 60% monthly energy discount to customers who qualify. Pacific Power has a similar program as does NW Natural.

Portland is now less than a year away from abandoning the commission-style form of government that the city has used for more than a century. It's a dramatic change, and the plan that Portlanders approved in late 2022 gave the city only two years to prepare. With half of that time already gone, city leaders are racing against the clock to meet that deadline.The mayor and commissioners function as the city council and also directly oversee city bureaus under the current system, but the overhaul will split up those roles. The council will expand to 12 members — three from each of four new geographic districts — and it will only set policy. The mayor will no longer be on the council and will instead oversee a professional city administrator in charge of all day-to-day operations.Jordan previously directed Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services, and before that he was a Clackamas County Commissioner and worked for 11 years at Pacific Power and Light. Jordan was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to help make sense of the new city government structure and provide an update on the progress of the transition process.

As India is quickly developing as a major power, Global Security Briefing considers its prospects as a partner for the UK in the context of the Indo-Pacific ‘Tilt' The world has many emerging powers, but India is probably the one with the greatest potential to shift the balance in the Indo-Pacific and, perhaps, the world over coming generations. Following independence, India forged a ‘non-aligned' path through the Cold War. For most of its history, its main security threat came from neighbouring Pakistan, with which it has fought a series of wars, and competed successfully in a race to acquire nuclear weapons. Today, it is the prospect that India might take a side in the great power competition between the USA and China that is drawing the attention of the world. India's gigantic population and skills base also makes it an attractive market and technology partner, not least for Britain, as the UK seeks to develop new economic relations after leaving the EU. The UK government's ‘Integrated Review' of March 2021 described India as “an international actor of growing importance” and states the ambition to transform the UK's cooperation with India “across the full range of our shared interests”. UK-India relations are framed by a mutually agreed roadmap to deepen bilateral ties by 2030 with the aim of developing a comprehensive strategic partnership. In this episode, host Neil Melvin is joined by Dr Walter Ladwig III of King's College London. Beyond what it offers the UK ‘tilt', the trajectory of India's rise appears certain to influence the outcome of military strategic rivalry, the evolution of global governance and the competition of different civilisational values. The question is ‘how?'.

Attention for the region heightened at the Pacific Islands Forum when the United States pledged to scale up its engagement in the region, including the establishment of new embassies.

Earlier this month, the Oregon Public Utility Commission adopted new rules on how power companies handle public safety power shutoffs. During dangerous weather conditions, power companies can proactively shut off electricity in high fire-risk areas. Shutting off power is a safety measure that can help prevent wildfires.The companies are required to inform the public, state agencies and local jurisdictions, according to the commission. Allen Berreth is the vice president of operations for Pacific Power. Bill Messner is the director of wildfire mitigation and resiliency for Portland General Electric. They join us with details on how the companies plan to mitigate wildfire risk.

Private electric utilities in the Pacific Northwest are planning tens of millions of dollars in upgrades to reduce the risk that their power lines could spark wildfires during extreme weather. Utilities such as Pacific Power, Avista, Idaho Power, Portland General Electric and Puget Sound Energy are either required to or are voluntarily submitting wildfire mitigation plans.

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! Wow, what a week! Sooo much to talk about that happened since the last show. Russia invaded Ukraine. The President muddled through reading a State of the Union speech and expressed some desired outcomes that the policies he proposed to get them will do the exact opposite. Like his desire for more manufacturing in the US while proposing to increase corporate tax rates. The legislature wants legal working residents to foot the bill for lawyers for illegal aliens charged with felonies to help keep them from being deported. Gas prices are going up and Pacific Power just put in for an almost 10% rate increase while the local greenies are pushing to ban natural gas. After voting to recommend pay increases for the Commissioners, both Dawn Lesley and Joe Berney deny supporting pay increases for Commissioners. Do they not know the vote was streamed video that is available to the public to watch anytime? We can also talk about anything else on you mind, just give us a call!    

This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. Consistent, reliable, and affordable electricity is essential in today's wired economy. In the past much of Utah's power came from traditional sources, but times are changing and Gary Hoogeveen, President and CEO of Rocky Mountain Power, tells us about the developments now underway. GARY HOOGEVEEN It's an exciting time at Rocky Mountain Power as we continue to increase renewable energy generation and move to a more sustainable electrical grid. We recently announced the completion of a sweeping initiative that more than doubled our wind production, making PacifiCorp the largest regulated utility owner of wind power in the West.  Using 2005 as a baseline, our latest long-range plan will achieve a 74 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and a 98 percent reduction by 2050. We are currently negotiating contracts for 1,200 megawatts of solar, along with 680 megawatts of installed battery capacity, which will be built in rural Utah. Our plan also includes an additional 5,600 megawatts of new solar resources. This monumental work will maintain Rocky Mountain Power's strong reliability in delivering power to customers, uphold our position as one of the lowest-cost energy providers in the nation, reduce emissions and modernize the grid. DEREK MILLER PacifiCorp is Rocky Mountain's parent company, and together with its sister company Pacific Power, they serve over two million customers, creating an energy future that is affordable, reliable, and sustainable. I'm Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally Aired: October 26, 2021
