The application to change electric rates is available to municipal utilities and consultants. All the necessary forms and instructions to complete them are in a Microsoft Excel 2000 file. We recommend using Microsoft Excel 97 or later version. If you would like to request an application, complete the form below and click on the submit button.  An application will be e-mailed back to you as an Excel file attachment. 

All applicable sections of the application should be completed and submitted to the Public Service Commission (PSC) in order for us to process your request to change rates.  Upon receipt of the required information, staff will review that data, including the annual reports on file with the PSC. A PSC staff exhibit, including recommended rates, will be prepared and sent to your utility for review. A public hearing will be held. At least one person familiar with utility operations will be required to testify and answer any questions regarding the requested increase in rates.

Applications filed with the PSC prior to August 1, 2009, should be based on a 2009 test year. Applications filed after August 1, 2009, should be based on a 2010 test year.

If you are unable to receive the application as an Excel file attached to an e-mail, or if you have any other questions about the rate change process, please call Jerry Albrecht at (608) 267-5111 or e-mail him at jerry.albrecht@psc.state.wi.us  or you may also call Jim Petersen at (608) 267-2190 or e-mail at jim.petersen@psc.state.wi.us.
