Okanogan PUD 3.75 Percent Average Rate Increase Begins April 1 by Mike Maltais Quad-City Herald, March 27, 2023

OKANOGAN -- The county PUD's cost of power adjustment (COPA) will be delayed while the PUD waits on final financial statements from power sales. Previously announced rate changes will still occur April 1.

Each year, the PUD calculates the COPA based on the actual cost of power the year before. However, some of the 2022 power purchases by the PUD had errors which are being corrected by the agencies that schedule and provide our power. The COPA will remain at $0.003057 per kilowatt-hour until the annual financial statements are available.

Rate changes April 1 average to about 3.75 percent overall, with different amounts per customer class depending on their actual cost of service.

• Residential, 5.1 percent (also continuing to merge the two-tiered rate into a single rate)
• Small general service, 3.25 percent
• Large general service, 1.25 percent
• Industrial, 1.25 percent
• Irrigation, 2.5 percent
• Frost control, 5 percent
• Area lighting, 1.25 percent
• Street lighting, 1.25 percent
