Wyoming rate proposal
We work hard to stay among the lowest‑cost energy providers in the region while also letting customers know what they can expect on their power bill.
Driven by the need to continue investing in and maintaining critical infrastructure, this spring, two cost adjustment requests will result in an overall net bill increase of about 2.8%, with residential bills increasing to 3.9% over time, subject to transparent state regulatory review and approval.

Understanding Rocky Mountain Power's 2026 bill changes
Investing in affordability and reliability
Properly maintaining and upgrading our system is critical to providing the reliable service our customers count on. Rocky Mountain Power funds this work in advance and seeks regulatory recovery only for costs that are judged prudent and reasonable.
Ensuring a healthy utility
Strong financial health for Rocky Mountain power helps keep costs low. Working closely with regulators and public officials ensures the company can recover prudent costs in a timely manner, maintain access to capital the company uses to provide service to customers, and continue providing electricity at some of the lowest rates in the region.
What happens next?
The Wyoming Public Service Commission is currently evaluating our filing, which includes two rate proposals that seek to keep costs low while investing in the critical infrastructure that powers Wyoming homes and businesses. The Commission will determine whether the company’s expenditures are in the public interest and allowed to become part of customer rates.
