Keep Cool with a Ductless Heat Pump

In addition to heating during the winter months, ductless heat pumps provide cooling during the summer.

Ductless systems are quiet, easy to use, and energy efficient. They keep you comfortable all year long.

We offer rebates on approved installations. Rebate amounts range from $400 to $1,200.


Cut Waste with Paperless Billing

You can reduce the amount of mail coming to your home by enrolling in our Paperless Billing program.

Save Money on Your Water Heating Costs

Water heating is typically one of the largest energy expenses in a home. It can account for up to 20% of your electric bill.

By making a few simple changes, you can cut your hot water use and lower your bill.


Hydropower's Balancing Act Helps Us All

Electricity in your home is ready at the flip of a switch thanks to an incredible balancing act from power grid operators. They make sure power supply matches power demand at any time, day or night. 

Learn how dam operators ensure power is readily available.


Pay Station Locations Have Changed

As of July 1, Bank of the West in St. Helens is no longer offering PUD pay station services. 

For the convenience of our customers, we have installed payment drop boxes in three locations

We also have a drop box located in front of our office in Deer Island.


Please Drive Safely in Work Zones

Please drive slowly when traveling through work zones.

When you see flaggers, please be cautious and alert, and be prepared to stop. 

Please slow down as you approach workers, and give them extra room.
