Utility Seeks Higher Natural Gas Price For Montana Customers

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A utility company is asking Montana regulators to allow it to increase prices for natural gas for more than 84,000 customers in the state. Montana-Dakota Utilities said Tuesday that the requested rate hike would increase a average residential customer's bill by about $30 annually.

The request must be approved by the Montana Public Service Commission. Montana-Dakota Utilities also serves customers in North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.Read more on NewsOK.com
