Monday, March 28th, 2016 -- 8:42 AM
A new study shows electricity rates in Wisconsin are the highest among eight Midwest states, but residents might not be paying as much as those in neighboring states because they use far less power on average.The Associated Press reports that an analysis by the state Public Service Commission found that 2015 marked the first year that Wisconsin's rates for residential, commercial and industrial electric customers ranked higher than Michigan and six other Midwestern states. But the analysis also found that monthly residential electric bills in Wisconsin last year were nearly $8 less than the average of all eight Midwest states.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Wisconsin residents are paying less on average because they use 19 percent less electricity each month compared to the Midwest average
