Advocates look to lower We Energies, WPS proposed double-digit rate hikes

Advocates are pushing back against proposed double-digit electricity rate hikes from We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service Corp. (WPS) in Wisconsin. Hearings are scheduled before the Public Service Commission for these increases, which the Citizens Utility Board argues are too high and contribute to already elevated energy bills. A key point of contention is the funding for new power plants, with a recent decision requiring tech companies, including data centers, to cover 100% of these costs.
