Upper Peninsula Power Company filed on May 22, 2026 for a $17.3 million increase. Its rate case summary shows revenue from the main residential rate rising 15.65%, and the Attorney General describes a 15.6% average increase for residential customers, the figure shown here. UPPCO's own example of a residential customer using 500 kWh a month goes from $144.95 to $166.12, or $21.18 more, which is 14.6%; the company's table prints that rise as 14.16%. UPPCO cites higher purchased power, fuel and vegetation costs plus substation and dam work, and asks for a 10.55% return on equity. The state has ten months to rule, and the Attorney General wants no more than $9.9 million.
