Franklin PUD electric rates may go up, followed by possible Benton PUD increase
The Franklin PUD Commission is considering two scenarios for raising power rates, potentially adding up to about $45 a year to the average annual residential bill in 2027. The Benton PUD Commission also is considering raising rates. A proposal for an increase for Benton PUD customers is expected to be released late this month, with a public hearing and the start of a public comment period on Nov. 10. The Franklin Public Utility District held its public hearings last week with one proposed scenario raising the average residential bill a total of $42.24 a year and the other scenario raising the average residential bill by $44.88. However, the higher rate increase would start later in the year. All other classes of customers, such as industrial and irrigation, also would be raised by about the same percentage as residential customers under both proposals being considered.
