Grays Harbor PUD’s proposed 2026 budget includes $122.8 million in expenses, with $61.5 million allocated for power purchases and $16.2 million set aside for capital projects.
Notably, the budget does not include a rate increase — marking the fourth time in five years that rates have remained steady, the Washington State PUD noted.
Finance Director Mark Neary told the board last month that with “realistic but conservative assumptions,” the utility expects to maintain current energy rates through 2026.
The Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on the budget in late November or early December.
