Xcel Energy has filed with the North Dakota Public Service Commission for a rate increase for its North Dakota natural gas customers.
In the filing, Xcel asked for an 11.96 percent rate increase.
"That equates to about $10.15 per month for a residential customer using 65 therms per month," said Commissioner Jill Kringstad. She also said Xcel is seeking an interim rate increase of 10.66 percent.
"That's $8.42 per month for a residential customer using those 65 therms per month," Kringstad said.
In a statement, Xcel said the proposal “reflects the critical improvements we’ve made since 2023 to keep North Dakota’s natural gas system safe, resilient and ready for the future.”
The PSC voted to suspend the increase, pending hearings.
