Tacoma Power: questions

Does Tacoma Power have peak hours?

Not on the plans modeled here: Schedule A-1 charges the same price per kWh at every hour, so when you use power does not change the bill.

How Tacoma Power’s plans work

Schedule A-1 (Residential Service). One price per kWh at every hour, all year: 9.2¢. Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever. Fixed charge: $31.30 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, Tacoma Power billed its residential customers an average of 11.45¢ 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.
