We Energies, Wisconsin Public Service seeking rate hikes in 2027, 2028

We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service, both owned by WEC Energy Group, have filed requests with the state Public Service Commission for significant electric rate increases in 2027 and 2028. The companies state these hikes are necessary to cover investments in new energy projects and infrastructure, while also proposing special rates for data center customers to bear a substantial portion of these costs. Consumer advocates, however, argue the proposals do not adequately protect residential customers from rising bills.
