Grant PUD commissioner provides clarification about rate increases
Recently there was a letter to the editor that indicated all PUD commissioners supported the recent increased power rates. My voting record does not support that. In 2012, the commission worked on a new rate resolution which would protect Grant County core power users (residential, commercial, irrigation and small industry) from the impacts of large industrial power users. This would be done by taking Priest Rapids and Wanapum power away from the large industrial users as the core Grant County power users needs grow. This would result in the large industrials getting less of Priest Rapids and Wanapum power. They would need to pay for the extra power they use independently from the core users.
