Gas increase

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Wyoming Public Service Commission (Commission) approved the Application of Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (MDU or the Company) to pass on a net gas cost increase of $1.345 per dekatherm (Dth) to its residential, firm general, and small and large interruptible service customers, and an increase of $1.328 per Dth for optional seasonal customers, effective for usage on and after September 1, 2022. The proposed change is due to an increase in the wholesale commodity price of natural gas and an increase in transportation capacity and pipeline-related costs.
The Company’s proposal results in an increase of $2.82 or 7.58%, before taxes, for a typical residential customer using 2.1 Dth during September 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 available at the Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming or online at: https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx (Enter Record No. 17150).
Anyone desiring to file a statement, intervention petition, protest, or request for hearing must file with the Commission in writing, on or before November 23, 2022. A proposed intervention or request for hearing shall set forth the grounds, the position and interest of the petitioner in this proceeding.
