Minnesota’s Cold Weather Rule began October 1. Even though the temps may still feel like summer, we want to make sure people know about Cold Weather Rule and the need to set up a payment plan before cold weather sets in. The Commission created a video to help utility customers better understand how to avoid losing heat and electricity this winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAX6rHEUApY
