Pacific Power Why must you charge me for what I didn't want Milton Freewater Oregon

 So, I'm new to Oregon. My only problem is why in the world does pacific power charge an arm and a leg. My first months bill was reasonable due to the fact of me moving into the house. It came out to be like $40 and some change. Then my November bill came in and was a good price $75 and some change. Then came December and I was still doing the same things as I was in November. There really wasn't a whole lot of change in my Electric usuage and I was charge $150. I thought that maybe I was using the heat more then I though. But when I still didnt change my habits all that much except turn down the temp on my thermostat and be home less often I was hit with a bill of $375. I thought WOW!! That can't be right. So now I'm pissed paying almost $400 for a bill way to high priced. Me using less electricity and some stupid dam removal stuff that who knows when it will end cause each dam cost me about $15 and if they are charging everyone that amount it shouldn't be too long till it's off. But the more research that I do it's been going on for about 7 years now. So come on guys. Like this is stupid and I don't even live by a dam so if you could stop that'd be great. Or at least take it off my d**n bill since I don't even live by a river.
