Emerald PUD Snapshot provides an overview of Emerald PUD's service area and customers. The 2020 EPUD Strategic Plan outlines goals to become an energy services provider of choice, customer partner, and industry leader through initiatives like customer service, power distribution, and rates. The EPUD EV Investment Plan approved in November 2019 aims to increase clean fuels credits, invest fairly across customer classes, offer home charging incentives, community EV grants, and EV marketing in 2020. A bonus action outlines a rural school charging program to expand rural charging infrastructure through grants and a new charging rate schedule.
