PUD No 1 of Clark County
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
PUD No 1 of Clark County is a public power district that reported 219,477 residential customers in Washington on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 1 county.
Its average residential price that year was 10.41¢ per kilowatthour, 13% below the Washington average of 11.90¢ and 37% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $104.88 a month on average use of 1,008 kWh a month. Across Washington the average bill was $113.68 on 955 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 144.8 minutes per customer with major event days included and 59.0 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Washington utilities reporting was 255.4 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 43% below that median.
The average price is up 12.4% on 2019, against up 22.6% for Washington as a whole, and up 12.5% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 10.63¢.

Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 219,477 | 2.7 TWh | 56% | $276,231,200 | 10.41¢ |
| Commercial | 20,389 | 1.4 TWh | 29% | $116,227,000 | 8.51¢ |
| Industrial | 30 | 738 GWh | 16% | $44,592,900 | 6.04¢ |
Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 5.8 TWh in total, of which 27% was its own net generation and 4.2 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 977 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 1.47 interruptions per customer with major event days, 1.13 without; CAIDI 98.3 minutes per interruption. EIA's Washington total across all reporting utilities was 623.5 minutes with major event days and 158.6 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.

Generation at plants it operates, 2025
- Natural gas 100% 1.3 TWh
Net generation of 1.3 TWh at power plants this utility operates, from Form EIA-923. It is not the mix delivered to customers: utilities also buy power wholesale (4.2 TWh in 2024), sell generation to others and may co-own plants that another company operates.
Counties in its service territory
Counties the utility listed on Form EIA-861 for 2024. Listing a county does not mean the utility serves all of it.
