PUBLIC NOTICE
The Wyoming Public Service Commission (Commission) approved the Application of Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (MDU or the Company) to pass-on a wholesale commodity cost decrease of $0.274 per dekatherm (Dth) to its residential, general, and small and large interruptible service customers, and a decrease of $0.283 per Dth for Optional Seasonal customers, effective for usage on and after March 1, 2022. The primary cause of the proposed change is a decrease in the wholesale commodity price of natural gas in addition to a small decrease in transportation capacity and pipeline-related costs.
The Company’s proposal results in a decrease of approximately $2.88 or 3.25%, before taxes, for an average residential customer using 10.5 Dth in March 2022. Actual bills will vary with usage.
Commission Rule Chapter 3, Section 26 allows a utility to pass-on, to its customers, known or projected commodity cost increases or decreases, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, subject to public notice, opportunity for hearing and refund.
MDU’s Application is on file at the Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and available for inspection during regular business hours or any time online at: http://psc.wyo.gov.
Anyone desiring to file a statement, intervention petition, protest, or request for hearing must file with the Commission in writing, on or before April 7, 2022. A proposed intervention or request for hearing shall set forth the grounds, the position and interest of the petitioner in this proceeding.
