Last fall, to reduce revenues, Benton
PUD customers received a temporary rate decrease of
1 to 4.8 percent, depending on the rate class. It became
effective November 1, 2005 with the plan to discontinue
it October 31, 2006. We are pleased to be able to maintain
the rate decrease implemented last fall, but we are
not stopping there. With the good rate news from the
Bonneville Power Administration, we now have more definitive
information needed for future planning. This information
from BPA, along with good cost management of other
PUD resources over the last year, has put us in a strong
position to lower rates further this fall, said Commissioner
Bob Bertsch, president, Benton PUD Commission.
