Salt River Project officials are asking the utility’s elected board of directors for a $110 million annual increase in rates that would kick in this spring, mostly to pay for coal and gas plants.
A customer using 1,110 kilowatt-hours a month on the basic price plan (E-23) would see bills increase $4.61 a month.
However, because customers use much more electricity in the summer than the winter, the increases will be greater during the warmer months.
