To the Clark Public Utilities customer owners:
We need an experienced, engaged, and effective leader.
As a Clark Public Utilities Commissioner, I actively promote outstanding customer service, energy and water conservation and efficiency, efficient and effective management, and our community and environmental programs. The utility industry is increasingly complex with carbon-free energy mandates and rising electric and water demands. As a customer advocate, I will continue to work to provide reliable power and water services at non-profit rates.
Clark Public Utilities is known for its excellent customer service. Customers can reach us with on-line resources, My- Account access, and 24-7 live customer service representatives. And the utility is again a winner of the prestigious J.D. Power award for customer satisfaction among mid-sized utilities in the west.
Conservation and efficient use of power and water have allowed the utility to avoid costly investments in new resources. As needs change, the Integrated Resource Plan will drive our conservation and resource acquisitions. Over ten years, we have exceeded our regionally set energy conservation goals. We offer rebates and incentives for heating and cooling, weatherization, and EV charging. We support our customers in their rooftop solar installations. We have invested in renewables with two community solar facilities in Clark County and several wind projects in the region.
The utility continues to operate very efficiently with only one electrical rate increase in fifteen years and one water rate increase in thirteen years. Additionally, we provided customers three bill credits during these years. Finally, our annual operation and maintenance costs are the lowest per customer of any electric utility in Washington.
Commitment to our community and the environment is evident throughout the utility. Operation Warm Heart, Senior Rate Credit, and other programs assists limited income customers. Tree planting and watershed restoration, student field trips, PowerZone, Home and Garden Idea Fair, and the Solar Car Challenge inform and improve our community.
The utility needs strong experienced leadership regarding our power and water supply and utility budgets. My experience, commitment, and legal background will continue to provide this leadership.
I hope to earn your vote for my re-election.
