Keeping prices low
Your business depends on reliable power at a competitive price. As we invest in system resiliency, we’re committed to keeping prices low. Our prices for industrial customers are 16.7% lower than other electric utilities across the U.S.
We will continue working to keep our prices among the lowest in the nation, all while delivering reliable energy to our customers amid changing conditions.
- The demand for electricity has gone up. We’re constantly strengthening our grid to meet the changing needs of customers.
- Extreme weather events have increased. Our meteorology team continually monitors weather conditions using an advanced network of hundreds of weather stations to proactively prepare operations teams to respond during events.
- Proactive vegetation management helps create safety buffers around infrastructure to enhance service reliability. By monitoring growth through air and ground surveillance, crews identify encroaching trees for pruning and remove dead or potentially hazardous trees that could interfere with power lines.
To help curb energy costs, we led the region in the formation of the Western Energy Imbalance Market alongside other utility partners. The market allows utilities across the West to access the lowest-cost energy available. Since 2014, total market benefits across our six-state system have reached over $745 million – cost savings that we’ve ultimately passed on to customers.
