Pend Oreille PUD Clean Energy Public Survey

Pend Oreille PUD invites you to take part in a short community survey as we develop our Clean Energy Implementation Plan (CEIP). The survey asks about the challenges our community and vulnerable populations face today, the factors you think are important when evaluating the benefits and costs of clean energy, and the values you believe should guide planning for electricity in our area.

Your answers are anonymous and will only be used to help shape our 2026 CEIP. The survey should take less than five minutes to complete.

Your input is important to us and will help guide decisions about the future of energy in our community.
