Utility company We Energies is proposing a its third rate-hike in as many years for its Wisconsin customers, citing the costs from shutting down fossil fuel plants and the integration of renewables.
The company filed proposed rates for review by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW), which will set the rates for electricity, as well as natural gas and steam service, for the years 2025 and 2026.
We Energies cites three major reasons for their proposed hike in their press release, “reducing customer outages, building infrastructure needed to support jobs and economic growth in Wisconsin, and meeting new EPA environmental rules.”
