Biggest electric utility in Wyoming sues regulators over partial denial of rate hike
May 21, 2024
Pacificorp, which owns the largest electric utility serving Wyoming, has sued state regulators.
The parent company Rocky Mountain Power is asking the U.S. District Court to overturn the Wyoming Public Service Commissioners’ decision in January to only approve a part of the company’s proposed electricity rate increases. The commission rejected part of the increase that would have helped pay for things like higher fuel costs to the company and rising insurance costs partly due to wildfires linked to their infrastructure.
