Montana PSC Votes Against 10.25 percent Montana Dakota Utilities Natural Gas Interim Rate Increase
PSC President James Brown said of the Commission's decision, "We have exercised the Commission's discretion to deny an interim rate increase. In doing so, the Commission has sided with the people of Montana, who, since January of 2021, have been facing historically high prices for everything from housing to health care, food to insurance, diesel fuel and gasoline for the last four years. If we can spare Montana natural gas rate payers from yet another source of 'sticker shock' on their winter natural gas bills, I think we have a responsibility to do so."
