Klickitat PUD To Hold Rate Hearing Tuesday

Klickitat PUD will be holding a 2023 budget and electric rate hearing Tuesday, with staff presenting a proposal for electric rate increases designed to increase rate revenues by 4.5% effective with the start of the New Year.  These increases will vary by rate class, with residential and small general service rate revenues to increase by 2.5%.  Klickitat PUD has not increased electric rates since 2019.  The PUD says customers are using more power than is available from our McNary hydro-electric project, and from BPA at BPA’s lowest preference rate.  The utility purchases the additional power needed at prices heavily influenced by the wholesale power market, and those market prices are increasing, a trend expected to continue.  The hearing will be at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the PUD office in Goldendale.  The proposal details are available at klickitatpud.com.
