PSC Says Revise Rates for Southern Utah Power
Utah Public Service Commission ordered Southern Utah Power Company to revise a recently authorized rate schedule. The plan would raise residential bills by about five percent and boost the company’s annual earnings by roughly 69,648 dollars, with increases targeted at irrigation pumpers Parowan City and Escalante Valley Electric Association. The commission found the proposed changes unequal and not reasonably distributed across the revenue increase. The new rates affect Cedar City distribution in Iron and Washington counties, excluding Kane County. Industrial, irrigation, street lighting, and municipal segments receive varied percentage increases, with June billing showing the new figures.
