Pud No 1 Of Klickitat County

Pud No.1 Of Klickitat County, a U.S. local government entity based in Goldendale, Washington, operates as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs focused on electric utility infrastructure modernization and disaster recovery, with no prime contracting footprint and no presence on federal contract vehicles. The public utility district receives grant sub-awards from the Washington State Department of Commerce and the Washington State Military Department, channeling federal funds into distribution and transmission line upgrades and emergency assistance programs across rural central Washington.

Pud No.1 Of Klickitat County's recent activity concentrates in electric utility modernization. Six sub-awards issued in May 2026 from the Washington State Department of Commerce fund distribution and transmission line projects ranging from $40,000 to $3 million in total award value, including replacement of aging single-phase overhead lines with modern three-phase systems, fire-resistant conductor upgrades, and underground infrastructure expansion along Highway 142 and Dot Road corridors. The largest single sub-award, valued at $3 million, targets modernization of 1.5 miles of transmission line. Earlier sub-awards in 2024 and 2025 from the Washington State Military Department provided public assistance and hazard mitigation funding following a January 2022 disaster declaration for severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, and landslides affecting the district's service area.

Federal customer concentration reflects the narrow scope of the district's federal grant footprint. The Department of Energy accounts for six awards, while the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service each anchor one or two sub-awards. The combined potential value across all eleven federal awards in the source data totals $6 thousand — a figure that underrepresents actual federal flow, as the source reports $2.6 million in obligated dollars, indicating that the potential-value field does not capture the full scope of grant sub-awards received. Pud No.1 Of Klickitat County operates exclusively as a sub-recipient (73% of recent awards) rather than as a prime grant recipient, receiving funds through state pass-through entities that distribute federal grant programs. The district has no federal contract prime awards, no GSA Schedule or GWAC seats, and no subcontracting relationships on federal prime contracts. Activity has accelerated sharply in 2026, with six awards issued in a single quarter following the completion of multi-year transmission modernization planning; prior years show sporadic single awards across 2011, 2012, 2024, and 2025.
