| P202502159 | 4/14/2025 8:16 AM | Please do not allow any increase for Liberty. They get enough from customers as it is, they need to be thoroughly investigated and audited before they are allowed any more increase. Their need for more money is ridiculous. The amount of increases they’ve received over the last 5 years has to come to an end. At some point a company has to cut internally to make ends meet, not constantly gather more from customers. It will never end as long as they are granted increases! Thank you for your time. |
| P202502162 | 4/14/2025 8:39 AM | I totally oppose any increase because we are all ready paying for things that consumers shouldn't such as taking coal plants offline. Also, Liberty is a monopoly which shouldn't be allowed." |
| P202502178 | 4/14/2025 10:30 AM | Liberty can't even get their billing problems fixed, let alone wanting a 29 percent increase, Now they want to up the surcharge on fuel? The PSC needs to stop this. |

| P202502275 | 4/15/2025 9:45 AM | "They have had very poor customer service for the past year and requesting any kind of increase. We've got two properties and the increase is not what we need. They ask for all of these increases when there are already things increasing. I will pay for what I use but I don't want to be gouged." |
| P202502284 | 4/15/2025 10:46 AM | "I am writing to you, the Public Service Commission, rather than to the Office of the Public Counsel, because I registered my opinion two weeks ago about Liberty’s request for suspending Commission oversight to rate increases and also to pass along the cost of expansion of electric plants to their customers. I was against both. And the Governor signed that Bill to allow both. "..*See attached for full comment. |

| P202502296 | 4/15/2025 11:36 AM | "Liberty FAC-I feel that Liberty already charges too much money for their services. Our older citizens have limited income and can not afford these rate increases they propose. During the summer months the older population is hit hard by the summer rates they already charge let alone the choice of medications or food." |
| P202502515 | 4/18/2025 9:40 AM | I would like to voice my opinion on the rate increases proposed by Liberty Utilities. Not only are they asking for the fuel adjustment but they also want a 29% base rate increase. Not to mention the bill that the state legislature passed giving utility companies the right to raise rates for future growth without any limits or checks. Liberty is currently being investigated due to billing issues. They need to clean up their business practices before asking their customers to fund anything else. I can assure you no one in Missouri is getting a 29% pay increase and with the minimum wage increase, the cost of living is going to go up and is actually a pay cut for those of us making more than minimum wage as our wages do not ,,*See Attached |
| P202502557 | 4/21/2025 7:55 AM | "This concers me. Electricity cost enough already. I understand that Spire is increasing their rates, but Liberty is already asking for a 30% increase. 30% percent! The shareholders can do without some dividends until the economy is in a good place and the energy sector is stable. A utility should not be serviced by another utility to produce power. There should be a separation. Energy cost enough. We install energy efficient everything, yet our prices still increase. Utilities are a basic necessity these days and should be public, not for profit. And the fact Liberty is owned by a Canadian company....... They went from asking for a 15% increase to a 30% increase because of political issues. " |
| P202502567 | 4/21/2025 8:51 AM | I completely oppose any fuel increases that you may want to impose on I or our citizens. If Liberty can't run it's business, PSC should not be enabling them to receive more money. They are already receiving funds from our citizens from Asbury plant that is fraudulent/stealing that should be stopped immediately .As well they are stealing from customers that have bought solar & are not receiving credits for their net metering while still charging those customers bills that should just be $13 service fee & those customers have proof to that fact."

| P202502893 | 5/16/2025 11:51 AM | Once again, I ask that you not allow the increase in rate Liberty has requested, especially now that they are seeking an increase for future construction, which I believe is called CWIP. I am told this could result in an increase of $100 per month in the average bill. (See attached pdf) |

| P202503487 | 6/15/2025 1:14 PM | We have moved to Buffalo mo in 2021 and oue light bills weren't too bad. Each year it seems like our bills keeping getting higher. About 2 years ago it was in winter time and our light. Ill was $450 and we weren't sure how we was going to pay it because it was so expensive. You don't suspect your light bill to be that high. One month our bill is 150 next min it can be 250. I feel like our light bill shouldn't be 400 dollars people cant afford it. I don't think empire should be able to make a profit off us when everything else goes up than how are we suppose to pay our bills? |
