Montana PSC votes against MDU natural gas interim rate increase.

(Montana) The Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) voted down a motion to request an interim 10.25% rate increase for Montana Dakota Utilities’ natural gas customers.

The motion failed on a 1-4 vote, with those opposed saying that the reason they did so was because of historically high prices that they say Montanans are already dealing with.

MDU’s rate increase remains pending until such time as the Commission makes a final decision on MDU’s application, which they say is likely to occur in the spring of 2025.
