Northern is pleased to confirm that a settlement in principle has been reached with a majority of customers in the pending rate case, Docket No. RP25-989. On Monday, February 23, 2026, Northern filed a motion to implement interim settlement rates effective February 1, 2026, for inclusion in the March billing of February 2026 reservation and commodity charges. Northern requested an expedited order on the motion by February 25, 2026, so the lower settlement rates can be applied to the February 2026 billing cycle. The motion is posted on the  Rate Proceeding Documents web page of Northern’s website, along with the  Settlement Rate Summary Table and the MID Matrix Tables available on the  Transport and Fuel Rates web page.

 

Anticipating the motion will be granted, these interim settlement rates will be reflected on customers’ preliminary invoices effective Thursday, February 26, 2026. Estimated rate information for nominated volumes will also be available in the Throughput Management System. In the event the motion is not granted, Northern will revert back to the previously authorized interim rates.
