伯克希尔哈撒韦能源公司的子公司太平洋电力公司寻求俄勒冈州监管机构将费率提高 16.9%，并通过升级、可再生能源投资和野火风险管理来证明其合理性。 Pacific Power, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, seeks a 16.9% rate increase from Oregon regulators, justifying it with upgrades, renewable energy investment, and wildfire risk management.
俄勒冈州最大的电力公司之一太平洋电力公司 (Pacific Power) 已请求俄勒冈州公用事业委员会 (OPUC) 批准将其电价提高最多 16.9%。 Pacific Power, one of Oregon's largest electric companies, has requested permission from the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) to increase its rates by up to 16.9%. 此次涨价将影响住宅客户，预计每月的账单将增加约 30 美元。 The increase would affect residential customers and is estimated to raise the typical monthly bill by approximately $30. 该公司表示，筹集的资金将有助于支付可再生能源和电网升级的费用，以及支付管理日益频繁和昂贵的野火的费用。 The company said the funds raised would help to pay for renewable power sources and upgrades to the grid, as well as covering the costs of managing wildfires, which have become increasingly frequent and expensive.
