"Portland General Electric Offers Up to 60% Power Bill Discounts to 85,000 Eligible Customers"
Portland General Electric announces that 85,000 customers may be eligible for bill discounts of up to 60% through its Income-Qualified Bill Discount program, which has been expanded from its original 25% discount. Eligibility is based on household size and income, and customers can apply online or by phone. This announcement follows customer outrage over an 18% energy bill price hike, attributed to various factors including infrastructure improvements.
