Liberty Utilities seeking approval to increase customers' electric bill


(From the Missouri Public Service Commission)

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

Liberty made two filings. In its first filing (Case No. ER-2024-0274), Liberty proposes to adjust the FAC charge to reflect the actual energy costs incurred by the Company during the six-month period September 2023 through February 2024. The second filing is Liberty’s true-up filing (Case No. EO-2024-0276).






 

For a residential customer using 1,000 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity a month, Liberty seeks to increase the FAC charge by approximately $0.84 a month. The proposed change would take effect on June 1, 2024.

Applications to intervene and participate in these cases must be filed no later than April 16, 2024, 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.

Liberty serves approximately 161,500 electric customers in the Missouri counties of Barry, Barton, Cedar, Christian, Dade, Dallas, Greene, Hickory, Jasper, Lawrence, McDonald, Newton, Polk, St. Clair, Stone and Taney.

    I agree @5:48. I prefer to be ripped off by American owned companies.
