The North Dakota Public Service Commission will hold public input sessions on April 3 and 5 regarding a request from Otter Tail Power Co. to increase its rates for electric service.
Public input sessions will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 3, via interactive television from locations across the state including James Valley Career and Technology Center, 910 12th Ave. NE, classroom A, Jamestown.
The second session will be at noon Thursday, April 5, using a web conferencing system. People may join from anywhere if they have a computer with a camera and internet access. There will also be an option to join by telephone.
The proposed increase is for $13.14 million annually over current rates, or an 8.7 percent overall increase. If approved, rates would increase for residential customers by an average of about $11.50 a month; a typical business customer’s bill would increase by approximately $22 a month.
