Rate cases
Rising costs and growing energy use drive the need to increase rates
To meet our customers' needs and ensure we have all the competitively priced electricity necessary, many utilities like Otter Tail Power Company will need to increase rates to pay for new lines and energy resources while continuing to maintain their current electric systems. Due to rising costs and growing energy use Otter Tail Power Company filed a rate case in Minnesota on October 1, 2007, in South Dakota on October 31, 2008, and in North Dakota on November 3, 2008.
Otter Tail Power Company's goal is to continue to offer rates that are among the lowest in the nation.
Serving customers as reliably and economically as possible
While the cost of living has risen nearly 97 percent since 1986, Otter Tail Power Company has been focusing our attention on efforts to keep customers' rates low and still maintain reliable electric service.
To help secure a bright future, we promise to remain diligent about finding the most efficient, responsible, and cost-effective ways to provide exceptional service, as we have since 1909.
