 Your bill will jump 5.4% in January 2025, exactly one year after it spiked 10%. Increases of 5% expected annually through the year 2030. That means about $5 more per month tacked onto your power bill. City Lights says the hikes are driven by a perfect storm of factors, including increased demand, extreme weather, and volatile energy market prices. Low-income households who need help paying their bill can work with City Lights' utility discount program for up to 60% off per month. Tim Hall, Northwest News Radio.
