Resource Adjustment - MN | Otter Tail Power Company

Energy Adjustment

The Energy Adjustment includes the cost of fuel we use to generate electricity to serve our retail customers, transportation costs for that fuel, and costs we incur to buy energy to supplement our own power plants, minus a base cost for energy that already is part of the per-kilowatt-hour rate you pay. Effective February 1, 2019, each service category (listed below) will have its own rate.

Environmental Cost Recovery Rider

As of January 2014 the Environmental Cost Recovery Rider (ECRR) allows our company to recover costs that we incur to meet state or federal environmental quality requirements for our electric generating facilities. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved our request for an ECRR to include the costs associated with an air-quality control system (AQCS) at Big Stone plant in South Dakota. The AQCS will allow Big Stone Plant to meet federal air quality requirements.

The ECRR factor is multiplied by our customers' monthly bills. It does not apply to any Mandatory Riders, sales tax, or any local assessments.

Environmental Cost Recovery Rider factor for bills rendered:
On or after December 1, 2018	0.0 percent
From November 1, 2017, through November 30, 2018	-0.935 percent
