The reasons behind energy bills rising

Posted:

Many people all across KOTA Territory are seeing a dramatic increase in their electric bills this summer.

In fact, some have said their electric bills have gone up more than three times what they paid last year at this time. Spokesman for Black Hills Power, Mutch Usera, says the only thing effecting how much people are paying is the intense heat that we have seen so far this summer.

"You know, with the hot temperatures in the past week and more hot weather coming, obviously people tend to use more energy. There are no extra rate increases or fees that are causing the increase in energy, it's just consumer's generally using energy because of the heat," said Usera.

Usera says to save money you can put shades over your windows and avoid opening doors as much as possible.
