Rocky Mountain Power in Wyoming has proposed to increase electricity rates by nearly 30%.
The outcry during public comment periods across Wyoming has been heard loud and clear.
The next public meeting will be held in Casper, this week, 10/12/23.
The hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Thyra Thomson State Office Building.
The Wyoming Public Service Commission, the agency that regulates utility companies, is holding that meeting.
State lawmakers say that RMP’s higher rates are due to the Biden administration’s push for wind and solar energy plus carbon capture technology.
Rocky Mountain Power claims that without wind resources rates would have increased an additional 60% in Wyoming.
