PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

Otter Tail Power Company

Renewable Resource Cost

Recovery (2020)

Rates

Case No. PU-19-387

NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR

HEARING

January 22, 2020

On December 31, 2019, Otter Tail

Power Company (Otter Tail) filed an

application to increase its 2020

Renewable Resource Adjustment

(RRA), which is part of the Energy

and Renewable Adj. line on custo-

mer electric bills. The RRA recovers

costs associated with renewable

generation resources. Otter Tail pro-

poses to increase the RRA from the

current credit of -0.224% to a charge

of 3.744% effective April 1, 2020.

The impact for a typical residential

customer consuming 1,000 kWh per

month would be an increase of ap-

proximately $2.72 per month.

The issues to be considered in this

proceeding are:

1. Whether the investments and as-

sociated costs for the resources

qualify for recovery,

2. Whether the incurred costs are

reasonable and prudent, and

3. Whether the rate adjustments are

consistent with the terms of Otter

Tail’s tariff.

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-

ments and requests for hearing must

be received by March 2, 2020. If

deemed appropriate, the Commis-

sion can determine the matter

without a hearing.
