March 2019

Minnesota customers
On November 29, 2018, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) approved our request to update the Environmental Cost Recovery Rider (ECRR) to 0% of your bill. The previous ECRR rate of -0.935%, implemented November 2017, resulted in an over-refund to customers. The MPUC ordered us to collect the difference through a one-time charge. We’ll include the charge on your March bill.

North Dakota customers
On March 1, 2019, Otter Tail Power Company filed an application with the North Dakota Public Service Commission to set the initial rate for the Generation Cost Recovery Rider (GCRR). We developed the GCRR to allow recovery of costs associated with Astoria Station, a natural gas-fired electricity generating plant. The proposed rate is 2.547% of your bill, and we’ll include the cost as part of the Energy and Renewable Adjustment line item on and after July 1, 2019.
