Electric bills are generally higher during the winter months. This may be caused by a variety of factors, but cold weather is typically the main culprit.

The colder it is outside, the more energy it takes to heat your home. Even if you don't touch the thermostat, your heating system must work longer to maintain the same temperatures indoors when the weather outdoors is colder.

In addition to providing efficient heating in the winter, ductless systems can cool your home during the summertime as well.

We offer rebates of $1,000 and $1,300 for qualifying installations.

It's never too early to submit your photos for our annual PUD Calendar Photo Contest. You may now submit your pictures for the 2023 contest.

Our calendar features scenic photos of Columbia County. We like to include photos showing off the beauty of our county that depict each season of the year.

Photos should be horizontal and submitted in high resolution.

Would you like to remove the surprises from your monthly power bill? Enroll in our Budget Pay program and pay the same amount every month of the year.

Budget Pay payments are based on usage from the previous year. To enroll, you need at least 12 months of account history at your current location and a $0 balance.

New Budget Pay plans are established in March.

Trees and power lines do not mix. Trees are one of our leading causes of power outages.

We ask all customers to contact us if you have trees near our power lines. We trim and remove problematic trees at no additional cost to the customer.

Please do not trim trees that are growing near power lines. This is very dangerous and puts you at risk for deadly electric shock.
