Electric utilities serving Wheeler County, Oregon
Utilities that list the county in their Form EIA-861 service territory for 2024, with each one's average price, bill and outage minutes.
Wheeler County, Oregon, appears in the Form EIA-861 service territory of 3 utilities for 2024; Wasco Electric Coop, Inc, Columbia Basin Elec Cooperative, Inc and Columbia Power Coop Assn Inc are the largest by residential customers statewide.
None of them has a bundled residential price in EIA's 2024 file, so the Oregon average of 14.70¢ per kilowatthour is the nearest reference.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 1,472. EIA does not publish customers by county, so which utility serves a given address has to be confirmed with the utility or the state utility commission.
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Figures are for each utility's whole Oregon operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
