Attached is the acknowledgement letter for this request. I expect to have a completed response by tomorrow, March 13th.
From: Kittitas Public Utility District
Good morning,
Attached are the response and completion letter. The Kittitas County PUD does not have any data center customers, as we only serve about 5000 customers in a rural part of the state. This is why we do not have any records pertaining to data centers as you will see in the enclosed document.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thank you,
Madi Triggs
