Otter Tail Power Co. wants to increase a special charge to electric customers that helps pay for its wind energy projects.
The charge now adds $1.45 to the electric bill of an Otter Tail residential customer who uses 750 kilowatt-hours of power each month.
Otter Tail is asking North Dakota's Public Service Commission to increase the charge, starting Jan. 1. It would raise the payment from $1.45 to $3.83 monthly.
The utility says the increase is needed to help it pay for its share of a wind energy farm in Barnes County. It's called the Ashtabula Wind Center.
Commission President Susan Wefald says the public will have a chance to ask for a hearing on the proposed increase. She says the commission also may hold a hearing on its own.
