Opening Your Account
New accounts may be opened during office hours (Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) by visiting our office at 105 East 4th Street in The Dalles (Directions).
Because our service area is so large, with many people living a long distance from the office, we also accept information by phone, mail, or email with follow-up of the membership fees, and deposit or credit information.

Membership Fees
- A $5 membership fee and an original signed Membership Form (PDF) or Business Membership Form (PDF) must be received in the office prior to receiving electric service.
