Wisconsin Public Service, a sister utility to We Energies under WEC Energy Group, filed a rate case with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin on April 1, 2026 for 2027 and 2028 electric and gas rates, Docket 6690-UR-129. The electric request works out to about 9.7 percent more in 2027 and 4.3 percent more in 2028, a combined 165 million dollar ask, adding roughly 11.19 dollars a month in 2027 and 5.43 dollars more in 2028 for a typical residential customer; the gas request would raise bills about 11 percent in 2027 and stay nearly flat in 2028. The PSC held public hearings in Green Bay on September 29, 2026, and is expected to decide by the end of 2026 with new rates in January 2027; nothing has been decided yet.

As filed, a typical residential bill would rise about 13 dollars a month in 2027 and 8 to 9 dollars more in 2028, a combined 16.3 percent, but how much of that is really tied to data centers versus other grid needs is one of the contested questions in the case.
Transmission upgrades like this are typically billed to every electric customer in the state through transmission charges, not just to the data center that made the new line necessary, which is why the cost allocation question matters for ordinary bills even outside the counties involved.
Nothing changes on home bills unless and until this tariff is approved, but its purpose is to keep future data center grid costs off residential rates.
If regulators approve it, Oracle would cover part of We Energies' nuclear power costs instead of spreading them to all customers, which the company says will lower everyone's fuel charges rather than raise them.
