MADISON - State regulators have approved a $9 increase in electric bills for hundreds of thousands of electric customers.
Wisconsin Public Service Corporation (WPS) had asked the state Public Service Commission for permission to raise monthly fixed rates from $10.44 to $25 and reduce hourly usage fees by two to three cents.
The utility says the increase is designed to ensure consumers who use less energy pay their fair share to maintain infrastructure.

I can't believe that they have approved this. You can't tell me that WPS doesn't make huge profits without this rate hike. It is so hard for so many to pay their electric bill as it is now, and now they are adding more to the cost. This is so upsetting. Pretty soon electricity will be a luxury that many can't afford.
