Rocky Mountain Power is seeking an electric rate increase that would mean a $6-a-month hike in the typical Wyoming residential customer's bill. The Casper Star-Tribune reported Saturday that the utility is asking the Wyoming Public Service Commission for an increase totaling $62.8 million. Rocky Mountain Power is Wyoming's largest electricity provider with about 134,000 customers. The utility filed the application less than three months after a $45 million rate increase went into effect Sept. 22. That increase also raised the typical residential bill by $6 a month. Company spokesman Jeff Hymas says the new increase would probably take effect in October if approved by regulators. The new increase would be 10.4% overall, ranging from an average 8.8% for residential customers to 12.5% for some large industrial users.
