Curious about the Wholesale Power Charge?

In February of 2024, the Trinity PUD Board of Directors adopted the Wholesale Power Charge, replacing the longstanding Drought Relief Surcharge. Adoption of the new rate provides the flexibility to adjust customer rates automatically based on the current wholesale cost of power, rather than the once yearly adjustment previously allowed by the Drought Relief Surcharge. The wholesale cost of power is what the District pays the Western Area Power Administration for the power the District distributes and sells to customers.

At the same time, the Board reduced and equalized the energy charge across all rate classes and geographic zones and increased the system access charge to better align with operational costs of maintaining the system.

For example, residential customers living in Hayfork or Weaverville were previously paying a rate of 5.983 cents per kWh, this rate was reduced to 4.682 cents per kWh. Residential customers living outside of Hayfork or Weaverville were previously paying 7.122 cents per kWh, this rate was also reduced to 4.682 cents per kWh.

The initial Wholesale Power Charge was set at 3.44 cents per kWh, as the cost of power was high due to years of extended drought. There is a time lag between cost changes and precipitation and the resulting hydropower generation. In November of 2024, the Wholesale Power Charge was reduced to 1.94 cents per kWh due to decreasing power costs.

Trinity PUD is a non-profit utility, revenues are reinvested in the system to benefit customers. The Wholesale Power Charge is broken out on customer billing statements in an effort to increase transparency. Rate schedules can be found at www.trinitypud.com/rates/residential.
