NEW ULM The New Ulm Public Utilities Commission approved a plan to resume normal collection activity and service disconnections under the policies outlined in the New Ulm Public Utilities (NUPU) regulations.
On June 23, 2020, the commission authorized the establishment of the COVID-19 deferred payment plan. Utilities Director Kris Manderfeld explained this action suspended disconnections and penalties until the end of the peacetime emergency. The reason for this action was to relieve customers of a potential hardship during the pandemic.
On April 15, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission tentatively approved regulated utility transition plans designed to move these utilities back to their pre-pandemic customer service practices. This has prompted NUPU to begin the development of similar plans.

(FOX 9) - Winter storms that hit Texas and much of the south in February created a natural gas price spike, driving up the price of natural gas ten times more than normal in some parts of the state. Those costs will soon be passed to customers and the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is collecting public comment to better understand the impact. We need to know how this is effecting people, Commissioner Joseph Sullivan, Vice Chair of Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, said.

PUCâeases pain
Thumbs Up: February utility bills are going to be painful to look at this month. The massive cold spell that struck much of the country created a huge demand for natural gas, and that translates to huge prices for natural gas. We’re all going to be paying much more in February than in January.
But for customers of New Ulm Public Utilities, things could be worse. The New Ulm Public Utilities Commission on Friday voted a $2.6 million buydown of the gas bill increases. It won’t cover all of the increase utility customers will be facing, but it will ease the pain somewhat. The table on the front page of today’s paper shows that.
