Manager’s 2025

Why is the increase necessary?

The cost of power supply is WEC’s largest single expense, and it is largely beyond our control. We have worked diligently to manage operational costs, improve efficiencies, and delay the need for this adjustment as long as possible. However, the 6.47% increase requires a corresponding adjustment to our rates to maintain the financial health of the cooperative and to continue providing safe and reliable service.

How will this affect members?

This rate increase applies to most member rate classes, with the exact effect varying depending on the member’s rate class and electricity use. For example, a residential member using an average of 1,475 kilowatt-hours a month might see an increase of approximately $9.73 a month. We understand that even modest increases can be challenging, and we are here to help.
