PSC APPROVES RATE INCREASE FOR WE ENERGIES

State regulators have approved a settlement negotiated with We Energies that will increase We Energies’ electric revenues by 1.3 percent and its gas revenues by 2.8 percent. The Public Service Commission will decide at a later hearing how the increase will be allocated among residential, small business, commercial, industrial and other customers.

The commission also approved similar settlements for Wisconsin Gas and Wisconsin Public Service. Wisconsin Gas’s overall rates will drop by 0.2 percent and WPS’ electric rates will increase 4.7 percent. The increases in electric rates will be the first for We Energies in four years and for WPS in five years. The rate increases approved for We Energies and WPS will be partially offset by lower fuel costs. And WPS’ rate increase will be partially offset by a lower tax rate approved in December 2017.
