(Wisconsin Radio Network) We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service want to raise residential electric bills again.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the parent company of the utilities submitted its request to the Public Service Commission on Wednesday. Average residential bills for both companies would go up about 20 dollars per month by 2028.

Much of the increase comes to pay for conversion from coal to cleaner energy systems, and an overall expansion to power proposed data centers. WEC Energy Group says it will shield residential customers from paying for power to data centers.

The Public Service Commission would have to sign off on the rate hikes for them to go into effect.
