What changed, in plain English

Rocky Mountain Power asked for a much larger increase in 2024. The Public Service Commission cut it to about 4.7% for single-family homes in April 2025. Then a settlement approved in August 2026 added another 4.2%, with the trade-off that the utility cannot file a new general rate case until 2028. So the bill you have now is roughly 9% higher than the same usage two years ago, and it will stay there for a while. Anything you fix now stays fixed.

Utah still has some of the cheapest residential power in the country. That is why most "high bill" problems here are usage problems, not rate problems: a second fridge in the garage, an AC that runs all afternoon in July, a thermostat with no schedule. The calculator separates the two.

Questions Utah homeowners ask

How much did Rocky Mountain Power rates go up?
Two increases stack: about 4.7% for single-family homes from the 2025 rate case (Utah Public Service Commission order, April 25, 2025) and another 4.2% from the settlement approved in August 2026. Together that is roughly 9.1%. The settlement also means no new general rate case until 2028.
What is the average electric rate in Utah?
Utah's residential average is about 12 cents per kWh, among the lowest in the country (EIA). Your effective rate is your total bill divided by the kWh you used, which includes fixed charges, so it will usually sit a little above the published energy rate.
Which Rocky Mountain Power rate schedule am I on?
It is printed near the top of your bill. Most houses are on Schedule 1 (standard residential). Time-of-use (Schedule 2) only wins if you can move laundry, dishwasher and EV charging to off-peak hours. Check the schedule before you blame the appliances.
What actually lowers a Utah power bill?
In order: a thermostat schedule (Wattsmart pays $100 toward a smart thermostat), retiring a second refrigerator or old freezer, insulation and air sealing (Wattsmart rebates up to $300), and a heat pump when the furnace or AC is due (Wattsmart up to $1,400). Solar helps less than it used to because Utah has no state credit and the federal residential credit ended after 2025.
