DIRECTOR UPDATE
Director Hemig attended the NCPA Strategic conference on January 22 and 23 in Sacramen-
to, along with two District staff members and Director Bob Ellis. The American Public Power
Association presentation was interesting. Cap & Trade has more questions than answers,
especially where the money should go. There was a rate report about PG&E's tier rates
which are unbelievably high.
Director Ellis stated that PG&E's average rate is 19 cents per kilowatt. The District's is 13
cents. We are in good shape. Of the 16 NCPA members, the PUD is 5t" in rate structures.
Director Hemig added that the PUD is high as a leader in RPS.
