On Dec. 30, 2024, Dakota Electric filed a rate case with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC), requesting an 11% request in base rates. Dakota Electric last requested a rate increase in 2019. In Feb. 2025, the Commission approved an interim rate increase of 9.5% starting on March 1. The interim rate increase will remain in place until the Commission reaches its decision in late 2025 or early 2026 and new rates start.
The rate case continues to move through the regulatory review process, with state agencies submitting written testimony; and public hearings were held on May 6 and 7 in Apple Valley and Rosemount. Dakota Electric is considering these recommendations, which may result in changes to the original request. All public comments must be eFiled or received by the Commission by 4:30 p.m. on July 1, 2025. You can submit comments to:
