Seattle’s Electricity Rates Are Rising | Seattle News

Published 9 hours ago
Description

Seattle’s electricity rates are set for a major jump—nearly 10% in 2027 and 2028—as City Light braces for rising costs, aging infrastructure, and soaring demand. Inflation has spiked material prices by nearly 40%, while outdated equipment and winter energy surges demand costly upgrades and new clean energy investments. But help is available: income-eligible residents get 60% discounts, emergency aid, and programs like Project Share. Plus, federal/state assistance like LIHEAP can cover hundreds toward heating bills, and tools like Budget Billing ease the burden.
