March 2020

Minnesota customers
On March 2, 2020, Otter Tail Power Company filed an application with the North Dakota Public Service Commission to update the Generation Cost Recovery Rider (GCRR) rate. The GCRR is part of the Energy and Renewable Adjustment line on your bill. We developed the GCRR to allow recovery of costs associated with Astoria Station, a natural gas-fired electricity generating plant. The proposed rate is 6.041% of your bill, an increase from the current rate of 2.547%. This proposed change is for bills rendered on and after July 1, 2020.
