Central Lincoln People’s Utility District is Oregon’s fourth-largest electric utility, serving 120 miles of Oregon's coastline, some 700 square miles of territory and approximately 55,000 people in portions of Coos, Douglas, Lane, and Lincoln counties. Central Lincoln is not-for-profit, and is publicly-owned, meaning it was created by voters to serve the public. Central Lincoln is governed by a five-member board of directors elected by the public in (November) general elections. Board members are elected to serve geographic subdivisions.
