Residential Service Rates
Effective Jan. 1, 2015
for Xcel Energy Electric and
Natural Gas Customers in Wisconsin
ELECTRIC SERVICE
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin has approved new electric
base rates effective Jan. 1, 2015. The increase in electric rates is
necessary to support capital investments in the transmission system,
new wind power facilities and power plant upgrades. The increase also
includes an update for 2015 fuel and purchased power costs.
As a result of the new base rates, an average residential customer
using 750 kWh a month will see a monthly electric bill increase of
about $2.14 a month or 7 cents a day. Individual customer bills may vary
depending on service schedule and usage characteristics.
