The branding change comes as the PUD has realized hotter summers have created a need for energy assistance year-round. Above, the Grant PUD building on Third Avenue in Moses Lake sports a new sign promoting the program.

Grant PUD donation program gets new name
Power district offers multiple ways to help those struggling with electric bills.
EPHRATA — Because it’s used year-round, the Grant County Public Utility District has renamed its donation program. “Share the Warmth” is now “Share the Light.” Cary West, the PUD’s senior manager of customer solutions, said the name change better reflects the intended use. “Probably back in the 1980s is when we (started) Share the Warmth, but we’ve rebranded it to promote it throughout the year,” West said. “When it was Share the Warmth, it was promoted more during the winter months. But we have summer peak (usage) and winter peak usage, so the need is there year-round.”
