RATE INCREASE NOTICE <br />NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR CENTERPOINT ENERGY MINNESOTA CUSTOMERS <br />CenterPoint Energy has asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to approve an increase <br />to natural gas rates for distribution service. The requested increase is for about 6.5 percent or $67.1 <br />million per year. The requested increase would add about $4.05 to a typical residential customer's <br />monthly bill. <br />The MPUC may either approve or deny the requested changes, and may approve a lesser or greater <br />increase than was requested for any customer class or classes of service. <br />The MPUC will likely make its decision on our rate request in the fourth quarter of 2022. If final rates are <br />lower than interim (temporary) rates, we will refund customers the difference with interest. If final rates <br />are higher than interim rates, we will not charge customers the difference. <br />If you move before a refund is issued and we cannot find you, your refund may be treated as abandoned <br />property and sent to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Unclaimed Property Unit. You can check <br />for unclaimed property at www.missingmoney.com. To make sure we can send you any refund owed, <br />please provide a forwarding address when you stop service. <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />Administrative Law Judge Ann O'Reilly will hold two in -person public hearings and two virtual public <br />hearings so that customers have an opportunity to comment on the company's request. Any CenterPoint <br />Energy customer or other person may attend or provide comments at the hearings. You are invited to <br />comment on the adequacy and quality of CenterPoint Energy's service, the level of rates, or other related <br />matters. You do not need to be represented by an attorney. The hearings will begin at their scheduled <br />time and adjourn after everyone present has had an opportunity to comment or ask questions. <br />February 22, 2022 <br />6:00 p.m. <br />Golden Valley Library <br />830 Winnetka Ave N <br />Golden Valley, MN 55427 <br />EVENT CENTER <br />February 24, 2022 6:00 p.m. <br />10 Civic Center Plaza <br />Mankato, MN 56001 <br />March 1, 2022 <br />1:00 P.M. <br />Virtual WebEx <br />March 1.2022 <br />6:00 p.m. <br />Virtual WebEx <br />Bad weather?
