Jefferson PUD General Manager, Kevin Streett received a Life Member Award at the Northwest Public Power Association’s (NWPPA) 85th Annual Conference and Membership Meeting in Santa Rosa, California.

Jefferson County PUD General Manager Kevin Streett joined the utility industry 40 years ago, spending his college summers at Boise State University working on line crews. He continued working in public power and, in 2012, became employee No. 1 of Jefferson PUD’s electric division.

As electric superintendent, he built the entire operations team from the ground up during the utility’s transition from a small water utility to a comprehensive water and electric service provider. He became general manager in 2019.

Under his leadership, Jefferson PUD has expanded its reach and services and undertaken a visionary project to offer high-speed fiber broadband to thousands of rural customers.
