Empire District Electric files request to adjust charge on customers' bills


(From the Missouri Public Service Commission)

The Empire District Electric Company d/b/a Liberty (Empire) has filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission to adjust the fuel adjustment charge (FAC) on the bills of its electric customers.

Empire has made two filings. In its first filing (Case No. ER-2021-0097), Empire proposes to adjust the FAC to reflect fuel and purchased power costs for the six month period of March 2020 through August 2020. The second case is Empire’s true-up filing (Case No. EO-2021-0098).

According to the filing, a residential customer using 1,000 kWh (1,000 kilowatt-hours) of electricity a month will see the FAC drop by approximately $2.33 a month.








Applications to intervene and participate in these cases must be filed no later than October 20, 2020, with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0360, or by using the Commission’s Electronic Filing and Information System (EFIS) at www.psc.mo.gov .

Individual citizens wishing to comment should contact either the Office of the Public Counsel (Governor Office Building, 200 Madison Street, Suite 650, P.O. Box 2230, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-2230, telephone (866) 922-2959, email opcservice@opc.mo.gov) or the Public Service Commission Staff (P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102, telephone 1-800-392-4211, email pscinfo@psc.mo.gov). The Office of the Public Counsel is a separate state agency that represents the general public in matters before the Commission.

A "drop"? Someone is going to protest/complain about a drop? I'm good with a drop unless someone can explain why it will be a bad thing in the long run.

To be clear, Empire customers do not need to apply to get this reduction. It will be automatically applied to your bill.
