PUEBLO — Pueblo City Council approved a resolution Monday against a proposed Black Hills Energy rate increase.
Black Hills had proposed a total rate increase of 18% over the next eight years.
We asked Black Hills why it is considering this rate hike. A spokesperson tells News5 the cost to provide services has gone up since 2016, which is the last time Black Hills changed its electric rates.
