EAST WENATCHEE — Douglas County PUD is changing its power rate to include a minimum charge and hinge more on a demand charge for its larger cryptocurrency minors and data centers due to the unpredictability of loads.
The new power rate, which commissioners approved Monday, for the subset of eight customers that use 500 kilowatts or more, will start January 2024.
This rate schedule for Douglas County PUD 1D customers, including data centers and cryptocurrency mining, will be effective Jan. 1, 2024.
