The electric bill for residential customers would be even higher — 28% — than earlier stated at a utility hearing if the Montana Public Service Commission approves a settlement agreement in the rate case, according to a new exhibit Wednesday.
The hearing on NorthWestern Energy’s rate case is underway this week before the Public Service Commission.
The new exhibit was a calculation presented on the second day of the hearing on the power utility’s request for more money, a hike that’s been characterized as “unprecedented” and “frustrating.”
