Consumers Council is an intervenor in Liberty Electric’s request for a 29.64% rate increase in southwest Missouri. With 37,000 out of 114,000 households identified as having a high energy burden, the need for targeted assistance is urgent.

On March 21, 2025, Consumers Council filed a motion to intervene in Liberty Electric’s proposed rate increase. In addition to this extraordinarily high request, the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) recently announced an investigation into Liberty’s electric, water, and natural gas customer service and billing practices.
