DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) — The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is launching an investigation to examine the affordability of electric and natural gas rates.

The MPUC will evaluate how regulatory practices, and state and federal requirements, contribute to customer bills and what changes need to be made.

The chair of the commission said that because of rising inflation and increasing energy costs, the investigation will help explore ways to make electric bills more affordable for Minnesotans.

The investigation will wrap up with recommendations to the governor and Legislature by early next year.
