PSC makes significant changes while approving We Energies data center electricity rates - BizTimes

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) recently approved new electricity rates for data centers served by We Energies, a significant decision for the utility's increasingly large data center customer base. The PSC's unanimous decision, announced on a Friday, included modifications to We Energies' original proposal. These changes were specifically designed to protect other customers by ensuring they do not shoulder the costs associated with serving these major energy consumers. The approval comes as Microsoft continues construction on its data center in Mount Pleasant, a project mentioned in the context of We Energies' expanding customer load. The new rate structure aims to balance the energy demands of data centers with the financial interests of the utility's broader customer base in Wisconsin.
