The City of Cheney Light Department is a municipal electric utility serving approximately 4,300 customers in the Cheney community. Cheney Light was formed in 1931 when the electric utility was purchased from the local utility owners. The utility does not pay dividends to stockholders, but retails all net income for operation, maintenance and expansion of the electric distribution system.
Cheney Light purchases power through Bonneville Power Administration. Bonneville also provides transmission service to Cheney Light by way of a separate contract.
