Montana Dakota Utilities announced that it is adjusting the proposed electrical rate increase filed with the Wyoming Public Service Commission last August. The supplemental filing calls for a smaller increase than originally proposed. The new request calls for an average 26 percent increase rather than the 31 percent average across all classes. MDU Resources Public Relations Director Mark Hanson…
The announcement about the supplemental filing was made during a meeting with MDU representatives and the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday morning. In that presentation MDU made a revelation that not only will electrical rates rise under the proposal, but if the PSC approves the request, the company’s maximum rate of return will also increase. That would mean that customers rates would skyrocket and profit margins would be greater for the utility. MDU will present its case for the proposed increases during a public meeting tonight at the Sheridan Senior Center at 5PM
