(North Dakota Monitor) – Utility regulators approved a compromise electricity rate increase for North Dakota customers of Xcel Energy, a deal they say shields those rate-payers from subsidizing renewable energy projects in Minnesota.
Northern States Power Co., part of Minnesota-based Xcel Energy, in 2024 asked the North Dakota Public Service Commission for an electric rate increase of 19.34% with the residential rate increasing by more than 24%.
Xcel Energy agreed to cut its proposed electricity rate increase for North Dakota customers.
The agreement raises overall rates by 10.37%, with the increase for residential customers at 12.92%.
