PSC to hold Public Hearings on WPSC Rate Adjustment Request

MADISON – The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) will hold public hearings on


Tuesday, November 27 in Madison, Green Bay and Wausau on Wisconsin Public Service


Corporation’s (WPSC) request to adjust its electric rates by 3.6 percent.


In December 2006, the Commission set 2007-2008 electric and natural gas rates for WPSC


customers. The utility is now asking for an electric rate increase as an adjustment to recover


costs for a projected rise in fuel prices, essential for its ability to produce electricity.


Public comments on WPSC’s application will be included in the record the Commission will


review to make a decision. The Commission has the authority to approve, deny or modify the


application. Citizens are encouraged to attend the hearings, which will be broadcasted


simultaneously by videoconference from three different locations at the following times:


Tuesday, November 27


3:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m.
