Wisconsin Public Service rate case: 10.29% requested in Wisconsin

1. Apr 2026Filed with the commission as docket 6690-UR-129
2. Dec 2026Decision expected · 76 days

Wisconsin Public Service filed on April 1, 2026 for 2027 and 2028 rates. Its customer notice puts the 2027 increase for a residential customer using 660 kWh a month at $11.90, or 10.29%, before fuel costs, the figure shown here, and another $5.43, or 4.26%, in 2028. With 2026 fuel costs factored in, the notice puts the 2027 increase at $11.19, which is the roughly 9.7% FOX 11 reports for 2027 (with 4.3% in 2028, about 14% over two years). The 6.3% (2027) and 3.5% (2028) figures in news coverage are the overall electric revenue request across all customers, $86.61 million in 2027. The utility says the money pays for burying power lines, tree trimming and aging equipment. The commission hopes to decide by the end of 2026, with new rates in January 2027.
