Iowa Southern urged to explain profits in rate review
Iowa Southern Utilities Co. of Centerville was ordered to show cause within 60 days why its rates should not be rolled back. The Iowa Commerce Commission noted potential excessive returns and cited 14.8 percent return on equity in 1971 and early 1972 as evidence to scrutinize. If staff finds rates excessive, a full hearing would be ordered. The move follows recent lower equity returns allowed for Union Electric Co. and United Telephone Co. and marks the first such action against Iowa Southern.
