What is a People's Utility
District?
A People's Utility District (PUD) is a publicly owned
utility formed pursuant to Chapter 291 of the Oregon Constitution.
We provide electric service to customers located within and without of
the District boundaries. People's Utility Districts are formed or
exist in areas where a majority of the public has sought local ownership
and control of their utility and lower electric costs. A People's
Utility District can usually offer lower costs because its products and
services are sold at cost-based rates, there is no profit added in.
The District is overseen by a five member Board of Directors
representing individual Districts and elected within the District they
represent. The Board appoints a General Manager to be the Chief
Executive Officer for the District. Greg Booth has served in this
capacity since July 1, 1998 and is the fifth person to hold this
position since the District began operation in 1943.
