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 increase of $0.787 per dekatherm (Dth) to its residential, general, and small and large interruptible service customers, and an increase of $0.786 per Dth for optional seasonal customers, effective for usage on and after July 1, 2022. The proposed change is due to an increase in the wholesale commodity price of natural gas and a small increase in transportation capacity and pipeline-related costs.
The Company’s proposal results in an increase of $1.10 or 3.40%, before taxes, for an average residential customer using 1.4 Dth during July 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 for inspection at the Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming or online at: https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx (Enter Record No. 17081).
Anyone desiring to file a statement, intervention petition, protest, or request for hearing must file with the Commission in writing, on or before October 6, 2022. A proposed intervention or request for hearing shall set forth the grounds, the position and interest of the petitioner in this proceeding.
