Thousands of Grant PUD customers benefit from $200 state bill credit
Grant PUD facilitated one-time, $200 electric-bill credits for 8,579 qualifying Grant County customers through the Washington Families Clean Energy Credit program. This program has now ended.
In total, $1,715,800 in credits were applied to the accounts of Grant County residents, bringing not only financial relief but also peace of mind to many families.
Grant PUD was thrilled to participate in the program, which provided critical financial support to qualifying residential electric utility customers. This program was backed by the Washington State Department of Commerce and funded through the Washington Climate Commitment Act (CCA).
Significant statewide impact
This effort was part of a larger, statewide initiative aimed at assisting up to 675,000 households, with a budget allocation of $150 million for Washington State residents. This program’s goal aligned with the state-wide efforts to reduce climate pollution, create jobs, and improve public health, making the bill credit a financial and environmental benefit to counties across the state.
Customer feedback
The bill credit provided crucial relief for Grant County families who used the savings for necessary expenses such as groceries, school supplies, and even mortgage payments. Some customers experienced significant reductions in their bills, with a few seeing their entire balance cleared.
— One customer from Moses Lake told us, “Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I wasn’t going to be able to afford back-to-school clothes for my kids, and now I can!”
— A customer from Mattawa shared, “$200 was a huge relief and was the help we needed to afford groceries this week.”
— A Royal City customer said, “This credit came just in time! My bills were stacking up and I was about to get my power shut off. The credit gave me time to catch my breath.”
Looking Forward
The bill-credit program was a one-time initiative. It showcased the power of collaborative efforts between state agencies and local utilities to provide direct support to families in need. These programs represent the importance of balancing energy affordability and environmental sustainability.

What is the Climate Commitment Act?
Please note the state bill-credit program was mandated by the state and made possible by state funding. Grant PUD’s participation in the program does not reflect this utility’s endorsement or opposition to any measures related to the Climate Commitment Act (CCA).
The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Look for more information at https://climate.wa.gov/.
