DURANGO, Colo.—Three rural electric cooperatives have joined some oil and gas companies in filing a complaint against Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association’s new rate structure.
The Durango Herald reports () the parties are taking issue with Tri-State’s new structure of charging customers based on average electricity usage, rather than encouraging people to use electricity during off-peak hours instead of peak hours.
Tri-State could ask the Public Utilities Commission to dismiss the complaint if it doesn’t think the matter is in the commission’s jurisdiction, or it could file a response to the complaint filed by parties including La Plata Electric Association Inc., Empire Electric Association Inc. and White River Electric Association Inc.
