On Wednesday, Dec. 13, the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) approved Otter Tail Power Company's request to implement interim rates on January 1, 2024, as part of their current North Dakota rate review.
“With this approval of interim rates, customers will see an average net increase of 6.03% on their monthly electric service statements,” said President Tim Rogelstad. “We appreciate the Commission’s decision, which more accurately represents the costs to safely and reliably serve our customers, and look forward to a final decision in late 2024.”
Otter Tail filed their original request for a rate review, often referred to as a rate case, on November 2, 2023. The request primarily is a result of increased costs to maintain a safe and reliable system while meeting growing electricity demand. Otter Tail last filed for a rate case in North Dakota in 2017.
The PSC will hold public hearings related to the filing and post the hearing schedule on its website. Otter Tail will also post the hearing schedule and provide additional details about our rate review request at otpco.com/NDRateCase.
