Common Council Legislative Update: Energy Rate Resolution

The Milwaukee Common Council has officially gone on record opposing the current data center rate proposal from We Energies. Following a unanimous resolution, city leaders are calling on the Public Service Commission to ensure that large-scale data center customers pay 100% of the incremental and fixed costs required to serve them. The city's stance is designed to protect residential ratepayers from potential cost shifts associated with massive infrastructure expansions for the technology sector.

Public Service Reminders
