South Dakota Interim Rate Filing

Black Hills Power made a filing with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission requesting interim rates be implemented for electricity service on and after April 1, 2010. The Black Hills Power filing proposes an interim rate increase of $24 million, or approximately 20 percent, for South Dakota electric utility customers.

A typical Black Hills Power South Dakota residential customer using 600 kilowatt-hours of power each month will see an interim increase of $12.18 per month, or about 40¢ per day.

The interim rate increase will be included in customer bills beginning in April 2010, subject to adjustment once a final order pertaining to Black Hills Power's South Dakota rate request is received from the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.

On Sept. 30, 2009, Black Hills Power filed a request for an electric revenue increase with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission to recover costs associated with the Wygen III power plant located near Gillette, Wyo., and other generation, transmission and distribution assets and increased operating expenses. In its original application, Black Hills Power requested a $32 million increase in annual utility revenues, or approximately 26.6 percent, to be effective on April 1, 2010.
