The utility estimates the average home using 851 kWh a month would pay about $8 more, roughly 4% of the total electric bill, and asks for a 10.4% return on equity against the 9.5% last approved. Current rates stay frozen until the Maryland PSC rules, which the commission expects in January 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/union-electric-co-2026-mo/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/union-electric-co-2026-mo/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTAmeren Missouri (Union Electric) asked the Missouri Public Service Commission in late June 2026 for about $343 million more a year, roughly a 10% rise, or about $13 a month for the average home, per St. Louis Public Radio. The company ties the request to storm hardening, grid upgrades and 400 megawatts of new generation, and asks for a 10.25% return on equity. The commission has until May 2027 to decide, with new rates targeted for June 1, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/consumers-energy-co-2026-mi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/consumers-energy-co-2026-mi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTConsumers Energy filed its electric rate case on June 2, 2026, asking Michigan regulators for $481 million a year: $456 million in base rates plus a $25 million surcharge for past distribution spending. The company says the money pays mainly for distribution reliability work, and it wants a 10.25% return on equity versus the 9.9% now authorized. Using a home with a $155 monthly bill, the company puts the increase at about $13, or 9%. The commission's order is due by April 2, 2027, and the Attorney General has said she will intervene.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/upper-peninsula-power-company-2026-mi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/upper-peninsula-power-company-2026-mi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTUpper 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.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/monongahela-power-co-2026-wv/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/monongahela-power-co-2026-wv/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTMon Power and Potomac Edison filed together on May 15, 2026 for a $188.4 million base-rate increase, which would have raised the average residential bill $17.89 a month, or 13%. On July 31 the West Virginia PSC instead approved the companies' alternative two-step plan: $37.9 million from August 1, 2026 and $37.6 million from June 1, 2027. The average residential bill goes from $137.86 to $145.52 (5.6%), and the companies agreed not to file another base rate case before April 1, 2028.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/pacificorp-or-2026-or/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/pacificorp-or-2026-or/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPacific Power filed a general rate case in Oregon on May 5, 2026 asking to raise revenues by $170.7 million, 8.6% overall and 10.8% for residential customers, with changes starting April 5, 2027. Separate rate decreases scheduled for May 2026, January 2027 and April 2027 offset much of the residential increase. The Oregon PUC rejected PacifiCorp's request for a temporary 2.8% interim increase and expects to decide the full case in March 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/dte-electric-company-2026-mi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/dte-electric-company-2026-mi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTDTE Electric filed on April 28, 2026 for a $474.3 million increase in base rates, just two months after regulators approved $242.4 million from its previous request. The Attorney General's April 28 release puts the request at 9.7% for residential customers, the figure shown here; her August release rounds the same request to 10%. DTE wants a 10.25% return on equity versus 9.9% now. The commission is expected to rule around February 2027, and the Attorney General has asked it to hold the increase to no more than $134.5 million.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-public-service-2026-wi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-public-service-2026-wi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTWisconsin 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.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-electric-power-co-2026-wi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-electric-power-co-2026-wi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTWe Energies (Wisconsin Electric Power) filed on April 1, 2026 for 2027 and 2028 rates.

The 4.7% (2027) and 4.5% (2028) figures in news coverage are the overall electric revenue increase across all customers, $175.8 million in 2027. The proposal depends on the commission approving separate data center tariffs, and the company expects new rates to start in January 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/peco-energy-co-2026-pa/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/peco-energy-co-2026-pa/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPECO filed an electric rate case on March 30, 2026 seeking $429 million a year, a 12.5% increase for residential electric customers, to pay for grid reliability work and customer programs.

Current electric distribution rates stay in place for now.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/public-service-co-of-colorado-2025-co/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/public-service-co-of-colorado-2025-co/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTXcel Energy (Public Service Company of Colorado) filed on November 21, 2025 for a $355.6 million electric increase, which would have lifted the average residential bill from $100 to $110 a month (9.9%) to recover three years of infrastructure and clean energy spending. In June 2026 Xcel, commission staff and several groups filed a settlement proposing about $224.9 million, roughly 37% below the request (Colorado PUC newsletter). The PUC approved an increase on August 19, 2026; Denver7 reports the final order cut the original request by 56% and raises residential and commercial bills 4.77%, about $5 more a month for a household.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/duke-energy-carolinas-2025-nc/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/duke-energy-carolinas-2025-nc/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTDuke Energy Carolinas asked the North Carolina Utilities Commission on November 20, 2025 for a two-year rate plan covering 2027 and 2028, worth about $1.0 billion or 15.0% overall (SEC filing); the WFAE hearing notice puts the customer increase at 15.8%. The company cites plant investment, coal ash compliance and a 10.95% return on equity.
