BPA’s wholesale electric power expected to increase significantly

As a full requirements customer of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Vera Water and Power has worked in partnership with other regional public utilities to secure favorable wholesale electricity rates, allowing us to provide you with some of the most competitive power rates in the United States.

While BPA projects that power rates will remain stable until October 1, 2025, they forecast a possible double-digit increase in wholesale power rates beginning in October 2025. This potential rise is attributed to inflation, ongoing infrastructure investments, and increased operational expenses.
