PSE: questions

Does PSE have peak hours?

Not on the plans modeled here: Schedule 7 charges the same price per kWh at every hour, so when you use power does not change the bill.

How PSE’s plans work

Schedule 7 (Residential Service). In July the first 600 kWh a month cost 18.9¢ each; then 20.9¢ above 600 kWh a month. An average Washington home (856 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $7.49 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, PSE billed its residential customers an average of 17.01¢ per kWh in 2025 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Washington’s price change since.
