(Bismarck, ND) -- Bismarck-based Montana-Dakota Utilities is asking for a rate increase.

The company is requesting a 12-point-three-percent hike. MDU says reason for the increase is their investment in converting a coal-fired plant to natural gas.

The North Dakota Public Service Commission must approve the increase. MDU was last granted an increase in 2017.
