Douglas County Public Utility District (PUD) is a non-profit, locally owned electric energy provider that began in 1936 with the goal of delivering a reliable supply of electric energy at the lowest possible cost. Today, Wells Dam generates all the electricity used by consumers in Douglas County and beyond, which allows the PUD to sell excess power to other utility districts and marketers. As a result, Douglas County has some of the cheapest electricity rates in the United States.
