Rates

Case No. PU-19-292

August 21, 2019

On August 1, 2019, Otter Tail Power

Company (Otter Tail) filed a change

to its Environmental Cost Recovery

Charge (ECRC) rate. Otter Tail pro-

poses to set the ECRC rate at 0.00

percent effective November 1, 2019

and transfer the remaining ECRC

account credit balance (projected to

be -$498,241) to the Renewable

Resource

Adjustment Rider tracker account

balance.

The effect of the rate change on the

bill for a residential customer using

1,000 kWh per month is an increase

of $0.24 per month or $2.88 per

year.

The issue to be considered in this

proceeding is whether Otter Tail’s

proposed ECRC rate is just and rea-

sonable?

Those interested are invited to com-

ment on the application in writing.

Persons desiring a hearing must file

a written request identifying their in-

terest in the proceeding and the rea-

sons for requesting a hearing. Com-
