Utahns' electric bills are about to get a little more expensive. Nearly a year after first asking Utah's Public Service Commission (PSC) to approve a rate increase that would amount to $667.3 million additional annual revenue, the commission ruled Friday to instead approve a $87.2 million sum. That will amount to an average increase of $4.31 per month for single-family households and $3.31 for multi-family households, effective immediately.
