Electric rates
Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, Chelan County PUD moved to a flat residential rate for electricity of just 2.7 cents per kilowatt hour. That's one of the lowest rates in the nation. This new approach to rates will lower bills for most residential customers.
Residential monthly energy charge per kWh: 2.7 cents
Monthly basic charge: $7.70
