Lewis County PUD Rate Hike Looms (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)

(CHEHALIS) Your Lewis County PUD electric bill goes up May 1. It’s a 5-percent rate hike. It’s after a previous 8-percent increase last fall. The PUD’s Bob Geddes says the increases were split to lessen the blow on customers. Geddes says they’re from the previous voter approved initiative requiring additional use of renewable power. Centralia City Light has also been increasing rates for the last two summers. The final 5.5 percent rate increase will take effect this summer.
