City of Forest Grove
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. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
City of Forest Grove serves 10,369 residential customers in Oregon as a municipal utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 1 county.
Its average residential price that year was 9.93¢ per kilowatthour, 32% below the Oregon average of 14.70¢ and 40% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $97.05 a month on average use of 977 kWh a month. Across Oregon the average bill was $129.62 on 882 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 11.1 minutes per customer with major event days included, calculated under another method. The median among Oregon utilities reporting was 289.2 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 96% below that median.
The average price is up 17.4% on 2019, against up 33.5% for Oregon as a whole, and up 10.6% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 10.70¢.

Bundled residential service only in the price, bill and use columns. Bill = residential revenue ÷ customers ÷ 12; use = residential sales ÷ customers ÷ 12. EIA describes its early release as not fully edited; it is shown for this utility alone and enters no average, median or rank on this site.
Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 10,369 | 121.6 GWh | 46% | $12,076,000 | 9.93¢ |

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 279.4 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 279.4 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 53 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under another method. SAIFI: 0.10 interruptions per customer with major event days; CAIDI 111.0 minutes per interruption. EIA's Oregon total across all reporting utilities was 591.0 minutes with major event days and 130.9 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
