ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - The highest-'electric power rates being paid by Oregon con sumers are char ged by Idaho Power Co., and the lowest by the Eugene Water and Electric Board, the Federal Pow er Cora mis sion reports. a Rbi smit The private ly owned Idaho utility charges $6.98 for the same amount of energy that the municipally owned Eugene system charges $3 for. The energy in both instances is 450 kilowatt hours for lighting, small ap pliances, refrigeration and cooking. Between these extremes of high and low cost power are the rates of the other utility systems which serve Oregon's many cities. Of these Cali fornia Oregon Power Co. charges the highest rates for its services to such southern Oregon cities as Medford, Klamath Falls, Roseburg and Grants Pass. The Copco rate for this same amount of en ergy is $6.90, just eight cents below the rate Idaho Power charges its customers in the eastern Oregon towns of On tario and Nyssa. Halfway Between The private utility which consistently charges the cheapest rates in Oregon is Portland General Electric Co. It charges $5.25, or roughly half way between the low cost power at Eugene and the high cost power of Idaho Power. Pacific Power and Light Co. charges the same as Portland General Electric in the Port land area. But in other areas its rate is more or less, appar ently depending on whether it has competition, the FPC report showed. 1 In Pendleton, for example, PP&L charges $5.82, and in Corvallis it charges $5.88, in both instances more than its $5.25 Portland rate.' Other cities which have the $5.82 rate are Astoria, Bend, Coos Bay, Coquille, Empire, Her miston, Hood River, North Bend, Prineville, Redmond, Seaside and Tillamook, Other cities which PP&L charges $5.88 are Albany, Cottage Grove, Dallas, Lebanon and Sweet Home. On the other hand, PP&L has lower rates in several other communities where it has competition. In Spring field, just adjacent to Eugene, PP&L charges $5. The Spring field Utility Board charges the same rate. ; Meets Competition At The Dalles, Northern Wasco County Public Utility District charges $4.50. PP&L meets this competition by charging the same low rate to its customers in The Dalles. Portland General Electric charges the same rate to its customers in Salem or New berg or Silverton or Beaver- ton as to those in Portland, $5.25. Next to Eugene, the cheap est rate in the state is at For est Grove where the city-owned' system charges $3.75. Then comes two more pub licly - owned systems each charging $4. They are the Mc Minnville Water and Light Department and Milton Free water Utilities. Ashland Cost Highest The highest cost power from a publicly-owned system is $6.60 charged at Ashland by the Ashland Electric De partment. Next highest is Central Lincoln Peoples Util ity, which charges $5.13 at Toledo, Reedsport and New port. The Tillamook Peoples Util ity District charges $5. In eastern Oregon, a small private utility, Call fornia Pacific Utility Co., charges $6.83 at Burns, and $6.36 at Baker and La Grande. Power rates in Washington state, by comparison, are slightly lower from the pri vate power companies and somewhat higher from the public power agencies. Ta coma's city owned - system charges the lowest rate, $3.20. The city of Seattle, at $4.40, charges almost as high a rate as Spokane residents pay to Washington Water Power Co., $4.66. Pacific Power & Light rates in Washington range from $5.53 in Yakima and Walla Walla to $5.82 elsewhere.
