Effective January 1, 2024, an average 5 percent rate increase will be implemented.
Emerald PUD’s Board of Directors approved the average 5 percent increase in November 2023. The rate increase is necessary to keep pace with the costs of maintaining a reliable electric system, including capital investments, equipment maintenance, and vegetation management. As a not-for-profit, public power entity, EPUD provides power at cost, and raises rates only when necessary.
