Secretary Gray Submits Public Comment Opposing Rocky Mountain Power Rate Increase as Bad for Small Business in Wyoming

The Wyoming Secretary of State submitted a public comment Wednesday to the Wyoming Public Service Commission opposing Rocky Mountain Power’s two proposed rate increases currently before the Commission: Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Rocky Mountain Power is proposing a 2023 General Rate Increase of $140.2 million per year, and a 2023 Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism of $50.3 million. Secretary of State Chuck Gray opposed the rate increase as both bad for Wyoming’s citizens and small businesses, and troubling in light of Rocky Mountain Power’s recent move toward renewable energy and away from Wyoming coal.
