CenterPoint, <br />Energy <br />January 10, 2022 <br />Dear Community Leader: <br />505 Nicollet Mall <br />P.O. sox 59038 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55459-0038 <br />On November 1, 2021, CenterPoint Energy filed a request with the Minnesota Public Utilities <br />Commission (MPUC) for an increase in natural gas rates of $67.1 million or approximately 6.5 <br />percent per year. On December 2, 2021, the MPUC accepted our filing as complete and approved an <br />interim (temporary) rate increase of about 3.9 percent for residential customers and 5.1 percent for <br />non-residential customers. This equates to a temporary increase of $42.4 million. This interim rate <br />increase for CenterPoint Energy customers takes effect January 1, 2022, and continues until the <br />MPUC issues a final order and the company implements new rates. <br />State law requires us to distribute a Notice of Application for Rate Increase and Notice of and Order <br />for Hearing to all counties and municipalities in our service area (enclosed). We will send you the <br />public hearing notices with details of the public hearing dates, times, and locations once they are <br />scheduled. That information will also be advertised in the newspaper of record for each county seat <br />in our service area and in the communities where hearings are to be held. <br />If you have questions or comments, please contact me or visit our Web site at <br />www.CenterPointEneruv.com/RateCase. <br />Sincerely, <br />Seth DeMerritt <br />Manager Regulatory Affairs <br />(612) 393-6216 <br />Seth.
