How do Wisconsin utility rates compare to other states?
Recent publications show Wisconsin’s rates to be in the middle third of all states. However, Wisconsin’s electric rates have been on the rise in recent years, as Wisconsin utilities have built new electric generation and transmission lines to improve the state’s overall electric reliability. This recent period of building follows a near electric power crisis in the late 1990s, when Wisconsin was facing potential brownouts. Recent volatility in the price of natural gas and coal, both unregulated fuel commodities, has also caused upward rate pressure in Wisconsin.
