Idaho Power to jack the bill again
June 27, 2008
Quotes from Idaho Statesman:
“Idaho Power is asking for permission to raise the company’s base power rates by an average of 9.9 percent, the company announced Friday.
Residential rates would only increased [sic] about 6.3 percent, small commercial rates would rise 10.3 percent, large commercial rates would rise 11.5 percent, and industrial and irrigation rates would climb 15 percent.”
Now, if only my salary would increase about 6.3 percent.
Does the Public Utilities Commission ever say “No” to these guys? I know they usually reduce the requested rate a bit to show they (the Commissioners) are really looking out for us citizens. But do they ever say a flat “No”?
