Seattle City Light to increase rates due to higher demand, rising energy costs
July 15, 2024
The Seattle City Light Department recently announced a plan to increase rates for customers amid a growing energy demand and heightened labor costs.
Customers could see a 5.4% rate increase in 2025 and 2026, which equates to about an extra $5 per month or $10 per bi-monthly billing cycle for the typical Seattle City Light customer.
The Seattle City Light Department cited inflation, supply chain struggles and a growing electricity demand as reasons for the rate hikes.
