Business Wire reports Joplin-based Empire District Electric Company has filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission for a 9.63 percent or $29.5 million rate increase.
The article says, "If approved, a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity would experience a monthly increase of approximately $11.11."
The company is also asking to be allowed to raise rates whenever necessary to cover rising energy costs.
Sure guys raise them whenever you want just as long as our wages stay the same and infant mortality increases.
