Wyoming Rate Filing

Wyoming, Oct. 19, 2009: Black Hills Power filed an electric utility rate case with the Wyoming Public Service Commission on Oct. 19. The primary reason for the rate request is to recover the costs associated with our new generation facility, Wygen, in addition to other infrastructure improvements and increases in operating costs incurred during the last fifteen years.

If approved as requested, a typical residential customer in Wyoming using an average of 600 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power each month will see an increase of $19.44 per month, or about 64¢ per day, but the actual change in each customer’s monthly utility bill will vary based on their electric service rates and electricity use.

The increase experienced by commercial and industrial customers will vary depending on the rate class, load factor and amount and nature of use.

The proposed $3.8 million increase in annual revenues that Black Hills Power requests in the filing requires approval by the Wyoming Public Service Commission. The Wyoming PSC will hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed filing in the spring of 2010. The company anticipates new rates will be effective April 1, 2010.
