New Services and Line Extensions

Considering Building a New Home or Office?

If you are purchasing property and want to develop it, please give the office a call and speak with our Operations Department. We will meet with you at your property sight, answer questions you may have, explain to you what your responsibilities are, offer some suggestions, and work up a line extension agreement on your costs. Contact our Energy Services program, we also offer various incentives for new construction you may qualify for.  

Line Extension Policy for Individual, Subdividers, Commercial, and Industrial Consumers

Individuals

A lump sum payment will be required in advance of construction in the amount of the estimated non-recoverable cost of construction to provide primary electric facilities to a new load. The required payment may be modified by the PUD when it is determined by the PUD that the new primary facilities will provide an improvement to the operation and the reliability of the electrical system. Payment arrangements may be available for customers with good credit ratings according to our current credit and collections policy. If the new primary facilities are to be installed underground, the individual will provide the PUD with a right-of-way easement and an acceptable trench and will backfill and restore all grounds after installation of the primary facilities. If the new primary facilities are to be installed overhead the individual will provide the PUD with a cleared right-of-way easement for all overhead facilities.
