Understand Your Electric Bill

Basic Fee: A month­ly min­i­mum fee is assessed for each loca­tion to pay a por­tion of the fixed costs for pro­vid­ing ser­vice regard­less of ener­gy used. Basic Fee may be pro­rat­ed depend­ing on start and stop ser­vice dates.

Kilo­watt hour (kWh): Mea­sures total ener­gy con­sumed between last read date and cur­rent read date. Month­ly there are 30 days per bill, plus or minus 2 days. Usage is then mul­ti­plied by the kWh rate to deter­mine the kwh charge on the bill. Extreme weath­er dri­ves usage and cost up.

Kilo­watt (KW): A unit of mea­sure for the rate at which an elec­tri­cal device uses pow­er. The high­er the KW, the more elec­tri­cal pow­er is need­ed to oper­ate the device. The KW reflect­ed on the bill is peak aver­age demand record­ed by the PUD meter, for the 30-minute peri­od of the location’s great­est use dur­ing the month. Not all rate class­es are sub­ject to demand charges.

Outdoor Lighting

There are a few options for KPUD-installed security/yard light­ing. The require­ments are that the lights can only be installed on a KPUD pole, must be installed pri­or to the meter, and you must sign a 10-year light­ing con­tract. If you have a loca­tion in mind that fits your needs and our require­ments, then please con­tact one of our Klick­i­tat PUD engi­neers and we will be hap­py to get the process start­ed for you.

Street light con­tracts are already in place in some cities. How­ev­er, if a city would like to look into the option of city-con­tract­ed street lights, please con­tact the KPUD Engi­neer­ing Depart­ment for details. Con­tracts vary by city and types of lights installed.

Avail­abil­i­ty

Applic­a­ble to ser­vice for street light­ing sys­tems, includ­ing street light­ing, sig­nal sys­tems and road­way and park light­ing for a term of not less than ten years.

Addi­tion­al Street Lights — Any addi­tion­al street lights request­ed will be billed at the stan­dard rate. The PUD will deter­mine the nec­es­sary improve­ments and install them as part of the basic rate. Any­thing extra (under­ground, steel or orna­men­tal stan­dards, or orna­men­tal lights) will be paid for as aid-in-con­struc­tion con­tri­bu­tion pri­or to instal­la­tion of the light. Glen­wood Induc­tion Lights are under a 20 year con­tract and future Glen­wood Street light addi­tion rates are to be deter­mined by engi­neer­ing.

Area Light­ing — When­ev­er a cus­tomer desires to have a light installed at his house or place of busi­ness the month­ly charge is to be paid by the cus­tomer direct­ly, the PUD will fur­nish and install the light fix­ture, asso­ci­at­ed equip­ment, and one (1) span of over­head street wire or pho­to cell.

Should a pole, relay, under­ground wire, trans­former or any addi­tion­al facil­i­ties be nec­es­sary, these facil­i­ties will be sup­plied and installed by the PUD at the expense of the cus­tomer who desires the light.

The cus­tomer will be required to sign a ten (10) year con­tract cov­er­ing the month­ly charge for the light. This month­ly charge will be in accor­dance with the PUD rate sched­ule that may be adjust­ed from time to time by action of the Board of Com­mis­sion­ers of the PUD.
