Customer Research Survey
The PUD conducted a customer research survey in November, 2024 and publicized the results in January, 2025. The results show that a majority of customers are satisfied with Pend Oreille PUD’s performance, citing affordable energy bills and reliable service as key factors. Many participants view their energy bills as affordable and recognize the PUD’s rates as competitive within the state.
Customers strongly support prioritizing core services such as reliability and safety, with a preference for small, regular rate increases to maintain stability over larger, less frequent increases. Feedback also indicated less priority for allocating PUD funds toward electric vehicle infrastructure or green energy expansion. Thank you to those who took part in the survey and for your input as we strive to deliver reliable, affordable service for the entire community!

Fuel Mix Summary
All Washington utilities report their sources of electricity to the Department of Commerce and they combine the information with data from wholesale markets to determine a fuel mix summary for each utility. The fuel mix is based on the generating plants and contracts of each utility and the Bonneville Power Administration. The report is published by the Department of Commerce and the 2023 report is available using the link under the publications section above. Please note - the data for 2024 is currently being compiled.
Washington State Law requires the PUD to disclose the mix of fuels used to generate the electricity sold to its customers (under RCW 19.29A).
