Legislator: RMP rate increase ‘outrageous attempt to further distress our residents’

Posted 9/5/23

The Wyoming Public Service Commission (WPSC) held a public comment hearing in Casper on Thursday, Aug. 24, to hear comments from Wyomingites and legislators concerning a pair of proposed rate increases by Rocky Mountain Power. The event took place at the Thyra Thomson State Office Building and used a separate room for overflow participants.

An 8% interim increase already went into effect in August, though officials and residents are asking the WPSC to reverse that increase. RMP has also proposed an additional increase of nearly 20% that, if approved, will be effective Jan. 1, 2024.
