SOUTHERN COLORADO — The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is inviting the community to provide comments regarding the Blacks Hills Electric rate increase proposal.
The PUC says Black Hills is required to seek approval from them in order to increase customer rates. Black Hills is proposing an annual revenue increase of about $37 million.
PUC will be holding four public meetings for community members to provide comments on the proposed rate increase.
“The PUC is hosting these meetings in communities to hear directly the unique needs and perspectives of Black Hills’ ratepayers,” said PUC Director Rebecca White. “Public input is a critical part of the Commission’s process to review Black Hills’ proposal.”
PUC says a decision is expected to be made in March 2025. For more information about this proposal, visit the PUC's website.
