By submitting this request, customers must rewire ALL equipment tied to the Dual Fuel Service to the home’s standard residential service meter. Once the request is complete the meter will be disconnected.

If you prefer not to rewire equipment, customers can instead switch their rate to Minnesota Power’s All-Electric Rate. The energy costs are the same as the Standard Residential rate ($0.09403 /kWh) but with heat tax exemption during heating months. Customers will continue to be billed for the additional metered service. Switching to this rate does not require any rewiring of equipment. If this is preferred, select the "Modify my Dual Fuel service" option above and select the "All Electric Heat" option.

By completing this form, I acknowledge:

That I will no longer be on the dual fuel rate.
Subtractive metering configurations (dual fuel meter installed downstream of the firm electric service) are no longer supported by Minnesota Power metering equipment. Once disconnected, these installations will not be reconnected. Any Customer request to return to a dual fuel rate would require construction of a second service.
I am not eligible for Dual Fuel for a minimum of 12 months. If after 12 months I request to return to the dual fuel rate, all associated costs with reinstatement will be my responsibility.
I understand it is the property owner’s responsibility to have the existing equipment transferred to the firm electric service and provide Minnesota Power a copy of the Request for Electrical Inspection. Any equipment remaining on the Dual Fuel service will remain de-energized.

Have you had Dual Fuel service at this property previously? *This question is required.

In the state of Minnesota jurisdictional area, the electrician or homeowner must complete a “Request for Electrical Inspection” form and provide Minnesota Power with a copy of the state form.
