The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) usually sets rates for two calendar years at a time, so changes arrive in January. The 2026 increases are already in bills, and 2027 is partly decided.</p> <p>This article covers the five large investor-owned utilities. It does not cover municipal utilities or cooperatives.</p> <h2 id="quick-summary">Quick Summary</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Utility</th> <th>2026 residential electric change</th> <th>2027</th> <th>Status</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>We Energies</td> <td>+$9.73 a month</td> <td>4.7% requested, about $13 a month</td> <td>2026 approved; 2027 pending</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Wisconsin Public Service</td> <td>+$5.04 a month</td> <td>6.3% requested, about $11 a month</td> <td>2026 approved; 2027 pending</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alliant Energy</td> <td>+$9.57 a month</td> <td>+$17.45 a month</td> <td>Both approved</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Madison Gas and Electric</td> <td>+$0.13 a month</td> <td>+$5.44 a month</td> <td>Both approved</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Xcel Energy</td> <td>+$13.47 a month</td> <td>+$24.91 a month</td> <td>Both approved</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Figures are average residential impacts reported by Wisconsin Public Radio.
