On Dec. 29, 2023, Xcel Energy filed a natural gas rate proposal with the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC). The request is designed to support natural gas system investments needed to serve our North Dakota customers safely, reliably and affordably. The investments include projects necessary to serve new customers within our growing North Dakota service area, improvements to the company’s natural gas peaking plants, investments in the reliability and safety of our system, and mandatory utility relocation projects.
We proposed a total increase in base rate revenues of about $8.5 million, or about $6.75 per month for a typical residential customer.
On November 8, 2024, the PSC approved a $7.2 million, or 8.0%, gas rate increase effective January 1, 2025. Because interim rates were higher than final approved rates, Xcel Energy will refund approximately $500,000, including interest, to our customers as a bill credit beginning in late February of 2025. On average, a typical residential customer will receive a total bill credit of approximately $4.93.
