What is a People’s Utility District?
A People’s Utility District (PUD) is a publicly owned utility formed pursuant to Chapter 261 of the Oregon Constitution. We provide electric service to customers located within and without of the District boundaries. People’s Utility Districts are formed or exist in areas where a majority of the public has sought local ownership and control of their utility and lower electric costs. A People’s Utility District can usually offer lower costs because its products and services are sold at cost-based rates, there is no profit added in. The District is overseen by a five member Board of Directors representing individual Districts and elected within the District they represent. The Board appoints a General Manager to be the Chief Executive Officer for the District.
The Clatskanie People’s Utility District was formed by a majority vote of the people in 1940 in order to obtain the benefits of reliable low cost power for this area. A two mill tax was levied in 1941 which brought in approximately $4,500 and that has been the only cost to the taxpayers for forming the District. Revenue bonds totaling $175,000 were issued and the property was purchased from the West Coast Power Company for $150,000 in 1943. The bonds were retired 12 years later in 1955. Service began in 1943 to the Clatskanie and Quincy areas and has extended through the annexation to the Communities of Westport, Alston-Mayger and Rainier. In 2002, the District began retail sales to industrial customers outside of the District. The District owns 50% of the 36MW Wauna Co-generation facility, which began operating in 1997. The District also owns and operates an 11MW gas turbine, Loki, since December 2001.
We are an owner of generation, wholesale power trader and a customer of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) through whom we purchase a variety of products. We hold 147 MW of BPA transmission rights and participate in the following power projects:
At Clatskanie People’s Utility District, our goal is to keep our customers safe while providing the highest quality service at the lowest cost. We provide a number of services for new construction, line extensions, yard lights, and generators.
