Xcel Rates
January 31, 2013
Xcel Energy’s North Dakota electric customers will see their rates increase next month.
The Public Service Commission has okayed an interim rate increase up to 14-point-seven million dollars -- or eight percent. Commissioner Julie Fedorchak says the average person will pay another $5.64 cents a month.
Xcel had filed for a 16-million dollar rate increase. State law allows a utility to file for interim rates while the PSC considers the overall rate case. If the final decision is less than the interim rates Xcel customers could see a refund or a credit.
