How is the benefit distributed?

The net revenues from the sale of electricity are shared between the partners. The Clatskanie PUD Board of Directors decides how the earning is distributed to the customers.  Below is an example of what the average customer will save in a month due to the Co-Generation Benefit.

Residential Energy Charge       1,500 kWh  @ $0.0353     $ 52.95
Distribution Charge                 1,500 kWh  @ $0.0042     $   6.30
Co-Gen Benefit Discount         1,500 kWh  @ $0.0040*   $ -6.00
Total Amount Due                                                           $ 53.25

The end rate is $0.0355 per kWh, rather than $0.0395 - one of the lowest in the Nation! Note: Rainier Customers must add $0.01 per kWh until acquisition cost is paid. Also customers inside city limits must add 5% Franchise Fee.

* Effective June 1, 2008 non-industrial customers will receive an additional $.002/kWh credit to their bills, bringing the total cogeneration benefit to $.004/kWh.  This rate will be in effect until December.  See example above.  Due to the recent refinancing of the Wauna Cogeneration project, we are able to pass the savings on to the customers.
