That number works for billing questions, service requests, outages, and account changes across Pacific Power's service area in Oregon, Washington, and California. You can call it during business hours — typically 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The wait time varies by time of day and season; calling early morning or mid-week usually means shorter holds.

What you can do on the phone versus online

Some tasks are faster by phone, and some are faster online. If you need to report an outage, check when power will return, or see which areas are affected, the automated outage system on 1-888-221-7070 works around the clock and gives you answers in seconds. If you want to pay a bill, view your account history, set up autopay, or report a meter problem, the Pacific Power website at pacificpower.net usually handles these without a wait.

Call the main number if you need to discuss a billing dispute, set up a payment plan, ask about budget billing, report a safety concern, or make changes that require a representative's judgment — like adding a second contact to your account or requesting a meter inspection. A representative can also tell you whether you may be may be able to access for information programs, though they will direct you to explore through the proper channels.

What to have ready before you call

Pacific Power's automated system and representatives can pull up your account using either your account number or the phone number on file. Your account number appears on your bill in the upper right corner. If you are calling about a specific outage or service issue, also have your street address ready, because the representative may need to confirm your location.

If you are calling about a billing question or dispute, have your most recent bill in front of you. If you are reporting a safety issue — like a downed line, burning smell, or damaged meter — describe the location and what you see, and do not touch anything.

Regional phone numbers and special situations

The main number 1-888-221-7070 covers all of Pacific Power's service territory. There are no separate regional numbers; the automated system routes your call based on the phone number or address you provide. If you are calling from outside the United States or from a location where long-distance charges explore, you can also reach Pacific Power through their website contact form at pacificpower.net/contact.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, Pacific Power offers relay service. Call the Oregon Relay Service at 7-1-1 (TTY) or 1-800-735-1232 (voice), and provide the Pacific Power number. If you speak a language other than English, the main line has interpreter services available — tell the automated system or the representative that you need an interpreter, and they will connect you.

What to do if you cannot reach anyone

During peak times — especially after a major outage or during storms — wait times can stretch beyond 30 minutes. If you get a long hold, you have options. Hang up and try again during off-peak hours: early morning, late afternoon on a weekday, or Sunday. For non-urgent questions, use the website or send a message through your online account.

If you have an active outage and the automated system is not giving you the information you need, stay on the line for a representative. If the line is full, the system will offer to call you back at your number instead of making you wait. Accept the callback option — Pacific Power will call you within the timeframe they quote, usually within a few hours during an active outage.

Payment and account changes by phone

You can pay your bill over the phone by calling 1-888-221-7070 and selecting the payment option. Have your account number and a debit card or bank account number ready. Pacific Power charges no fee for phone payments. If you want to set up autopay so you do not have to call each month, a representative can do that, or you can set it up yourself on the website in about two minutes.

If you need to report a move, add an authorized user to your account, or request a final bill, call the main number and ask for account services. These changes usually take effect within one to three business days.
