A thorny process over a Utah electricity rate increase may be coming to an end after Rocky Mountain Power proposed a settlement with the Utah Public Service Commission to add a 4.2% rate hike on top of the 4.7% increase commissioners approved last year.

The agreement, which the commission has yet to officially review, also proposes stabilizing rates through 2028, with the utility committing not to file another rate increase proposal until then.
