Electricity is currently about 10 cents/kWh through Portland General Electric for residential service... They have a "renewable" option, for which I don't know the rate.
Gas is 1.018 cents per therm, which is about 30 kWh... So, 30 cents per kWh.
You would think that the Pacific Northwest would have lots of cheap energy due to hydro, but sadly most of that is sent down to California... 60-70% of PGE's mix is from Coal and Natural Gas from as far away as Montana. While PGE has some of its own hydro, most of the big dams are government-owned, and power is sold to the highest bidder.
