PUD No 1 of Pend Oreille 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.
In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, PUD No 1 of Pend Oreille County, a public power district, reported 9,120 residential customers in Washington, with a service territory that touches 1 county.
Its average residential price that year was 8.59¢ per kilowatthour, 28% below the Washington average of 11.90¢ and 48% 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 $123.75 a month on average use of 1,441 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.
EIA's reliability file has no SAIDI or SAIFI entry for it in 2024; smaller respondents and energy-only suppliers are not asked for one.
The average price is up 21.5% on 2019, against up 22.6% for Washington as a whole, and up 1.7% on 2023.
