The Value of Electricity & Being a Penlight Member

PenLight is an industry leader and serves the community by providing electricity at some of the lowest residential electricity rates nation - wide.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Washington has the 2nd-lowest electricity rates in the country at 10.3c/kWh, yet PenLight’s residential rates are even lower than that at 7c/kWh.

Washington is able to keep its rates so low because it generates more electricity from hydropower than any other state, accounting for 31% of the nation's total utility-scale hydroelectric generation as of 2022. 25303
