We Energies filed a proposal in May 2023 with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to increase electric and natural gas rates at the beginning of 2024.
As the PSCW reviews the proposal on Monday, Oct. 9, they will take public input at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Clinton-Rose Senior Center, 3045 N. King Drive. Spoken and written comments from the public will be accepted at both hearings.
According to We Energies, the rates would be less than $4 per month but can vary depending on your rate class and the amount of electricity and/or natural gas you use.
PSCW is expected to decide and set new rates before the end of the year. They may be higher or lower than what We Energies requested.
The new electric and natural gas rates will take effect in January 2024.
