The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) hosted two public hearings in Ashwaubenon on Thursday, to hear local opinions regarding a proposal by Wisconsin Public Service Corporation (WPS) to raise gas and electric rates, effective Jan. 1, 2025, and Jan. 1, 2026. “A 28% increase between 2022 and 2026 is a lot for anybody to handle,” said Tom Content, executive director of the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin. “And in particular, we’re worried about people who are already struggling to make ends meet.” The Citizen’s Utility Board is proposing a lower increase.
