Benton
PUD to implement a temporary rate decrease
Benton PUD customers will receive a rate decrease
that will vary from 1 to 4.8 percent depending on the
rate class starting November 1, 2005. Based on
a strong financial position, Benton PUD Commission
approved a temporary rate decrease to reduce revenues. The
temporary rate decrease will be effective from November
through October 31, 2006.
Residential customers will receive a 4.8 percent rate
decrease. The new residential rate will be $0.0654
per kWh, down from $0.0687 per kWh and the base charge
will be $9.55 for single-phase down from $10.05 per
month.
“We are pleased to give our customers another
rate decrease,” said Jeff Hall, Benton PUD Commission
president.
The last rate adjustment for Benton PUD customers was
a 5.5 percent rate decrease for residential customer
class in April 2004. |
