OG&E's regulatory affairs director testified that the average residential customer would pay $23.88 more a month, about a 17.5% increase in the monthly bill. The company cites capital investment since its last case, a higher return on equity (10.5% proposed, up from 9.5%), updated depreciation and higher vegetation management costs. The case has just started: rates are not changing yet, a public hearing is expected in spring 2027, and under Oklahoma's 180-day rule OG&E may put interim rates into effect if the commission has not ruled by late March 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/jersey-central-power-lt-co-2026-nj/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/jersey-central-power-lt-co-2026-nj/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTJersey Central Power & Light filed a base rate case with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on August 6, 2026, seeking a $253 million net increase in distribution revenue plus a separate charge to recover about $476 million of deferred storm costs over 10 years. JCP&L says residential customers would see a total bill impact of about 8.8%, or $14.23 a month on a typical 767 kWh bill of $162.30, while the base increase alone is about 7%. The company cites $1.5 billion of reliability investment over three years and asks for a 10.2% return on equity, up from 9.6%. It proposes new base rates from May 6, 2027 but with offsets that would keep residential bills from changing until January 2028; the board has not ruled.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/connecticut-light-power-co-2026-ct/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/connecticut-light-power-co-2026-ct/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe Connecticut Light and Power Company, doing business as Eversource, filed a distribution rate case with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on July 14, 2026. It seeks about $451 million a year in base distribution revenue, or about $727 million including storm costs from January 2018 to March 2025; as filed, a typical residential customer using 700 kWh would pay about 18% (roughly $32 a month) more. Eversource says the increase would be about 11% (roughly $20) if those storm costs are securitized instead of recovered through base rates. It proposes a four-year performance-based rate plan starting July 1, 2027 with a 10.25% return on equity, and PURA's decision is expected by June 29, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/baltimore-gas-electric-co-2026-md/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/baltimore-gas-electric-co-2026-md/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTBGE filed on July 2, 2026 for a $156.1 million increase in electric base rates, which it describes as a bare-bones maintenance case. The utility estimates the average home using 851 kWh a month would pay about $8 more, roughly 4% of the total electric bill, and asks for a 10.4% return on equity against the 9.5% last approved. Current rates stay frozen until the Maryland PSC rules, which the commission expects in January 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/montana-dakota-utilities-co-2026-nd/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/montana-dakota-utilities-co-2026-nd/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTMontana-Dakota Utilities filed with the North Dakota Public Service Commission on June 30, 2026 for a $34.5 million (14.5% overall) electric increase based on a 2027 test year, including an 18.9% increase for the residential class. MDU says the average residential bill would rise about $19.10 a month, from $105.16 to $124.26 (18.2%), and cites higher operating costs and infrastructure investment since its 2022 case. The commission suspended the proposed rates on July 27, 2026 and, as state law requires, approved interim rates worth $26.3 million a year effective Sept. 1, 2026 (about $12.90 a month, or 12.3%, for a typical residential customer), subject to refund. No hearing has been scheduled; a commissioner said hearings likely will not take place until 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/union-electric-co-2026-mo/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/union-electric-co-2026-mo/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTAmeren Missouri (Union Electric) asked the Missouri Public Service Commission in late June 2026 for about $343 million more a year, roughly a 10% rise, or about $13 a month for the average home, per St. Louis Public Radio. The company ties the request to storm hardening, grid upgrades and 400 megawatts of new generation, and asks for a 10.25% return on equity. The commission has until May 2027 to decide, with new rates targeted for June 1, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/consumers-energy-co-2026-mi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/consumers-energy-co-2026-mi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTConsumers Energy filed its electric rate case on June 2, 2026, asking Michigan regulators for $481 million a year: $456 million in base rates plus a $25 million surcharge for past distribution spending. The company says the money pays mainly for distribution reliability work, and it wants a 10.25% return on equity versus the 9.9% now authorized. Using a home with a $155 monthly bill, the company puts the increase at about $13, or 9%. The commission's order is due by April 2, 2027, and the Attorney General has said she will intervene.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/appalachian-power-co-2026-va/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/appalachian-power-co-2026-va/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTAppalachian Power filed its 2026 biennial review with the Virginia State Corporation Commission on May 29, 2026, asking for about $61.4 million more in base revenue a year, a 3.3% increase in overall revenue, with a 10.5% return on equity versus the 9.75% now allowed. Cardinal News reports this would add $9.10, or about 5.4%, to the monthly bill of an average residential customer using 1,000 kWh. The company cites inflation, distribution and generation investment, higher capital costs, tree trimming and storm recovery, and says securitizing plant and storm costs kept the request $8.38 a month lower than it would otherwise be. Commission staff instead recommended a $5.5 million base-rate decrease; the evidentiary hearing starts October 20, 2026, the order is due by January 15, 2027, and new rates could start no earlier than March 1, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/upper-peninsula-power-company-2026-mi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/upper-peninsula-power-company-2026-mi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTUpper Peninsula Power Company filed on May 22, 2026 for a $17.3 million increase. Its rate case summary shows revenue from the main residential rate rising 15.65%, and the Attorney General describes a 15.6% average increase for residential customers, the figure shown here. UPPCO's own example of a residential customer using 500 kWh a month goes from $144.95 to $166.12, or $21.18 more, which is 14.6%; the company's table prints that rise as 14.16%. UPPCO cites higher purchased power, fuel and vegetation costs plus substation and dam work, and asks for a 10.55% return on equity. The state has ten months to rule, and the Attorney General wants no more than $9.9 million.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/monongahela-power-co-2026-wv/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/monongahela-power-co-2026-wv/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTMon Power and Potomac Edison filed together on May 15, 2026 for a $188.4 million base-rate increase, which would have raised the average residential bill $17.89 a month, or 13%. On July 31 the West Virginia PSC instead approved the companies' alternative two-step plan: $37.9 million from August 1, 2026 and $37.6 million from June 1, 2027. The average residential bill goes from $137.86 to $145.52 (5.6%), and the companies agreed not to file another base rate case before April 1, 2028.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/pacificorp-wy-2026-wy/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/pacificorp-wy-2026-wy/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTRocky Mountain Power, PacifiCorp's Wyoming utility, asked the Wyoming Public Service Commission on May 12, 2026 for $70.5 million a year, an 8.8% overall increase, in two steps: $68.3 million (8.5%) on March 15, 2027 and a net $2.2 million (0.3%) on April 1, 2027 tied to the sale of its Washington service area. The commission's notice lists an 8.5% total increase for residential customers (Schedule 2). The company cites Wyoming's share of new capital investment, higher net power costs and operating costs ($58.3 million) plus $10 million for a wildfire liability self-insurance reserve, partly offset by a $7.8 million goodwill credit from the Washington sale. The company says a separate fuel-cost filing proposing an average 6% bill decrease from July 1, 2026 would bring the combined residential effect to about 3.9%. The case is pending; the commission scheduled public comment hearings for September 24 and 28, 2026, and the requested first-step effective date is March 15, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/pacificorp-or-2026-or/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/pacificorp-or-2026-or/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPacific Power filed a general rate case in Oregon on May 5, 2026 asking to raise revenues by $170.7 million, 8.6% overall and 10.8% for residential customers, with changes starting April 5, 2027. Separate rate decreases scheduled for May 2026, January 2027 and April 2027 offset much of the residential increase. The Oregon PUC rejected PacifiCorp's request for a temporary 2.8% interim increase and expects to decide the full case in March 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/dte-electric-company-2026-mi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/dte-electric-company-2026-mi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTDTE Electric filed on April 28, 2026 for a $474.3 million increase in base rates, just two months after regulators approved $242.4 million from its previous request. The Attorney General's April 28 release puts the request at 9.7% for residential customers, the figure shown here; her August release rounds the same request to 10%. DTE wants a 10.25% return on equity versus 9.9% now. The commission is expected to rule around February 2027, and the Attorney General has asked it to hold the increase to no more than $134.5 million.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-public-service-2026-wi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-public-service-2026-wi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTWisconsin Public Service filed on April 1, 2026 for 2027 and 2028 rates. Its customer notice puts the 2027 increase for a residential customer using 660 kWh a month at $11.90, or 10.29%, before fuel costs, the figure shown here, and another $5.43, or 4.26%, in 2028. With 2026 fuel costs factored in, the notice puts the 2027 increase at $11.19, which is the roughly 9.7% FOX 11 reports for 2027 (with 4.3% in 2028, about 14% over two years). The 6.3% (2027) and 3.5% (2028) figures in news coverage are the overall electric revenue request across all customers, $86.61 million in 2027. The utility says the money pays for burying power lines, tree trimming and aging equipment. The commission hopes to decide by the end of 2026, with new rates in January 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-electric-power-co-2026-wi/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/wisconsin-electric-power-co-2026-wi/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTWe Energies (Wisconsin Electric Power) filed on April 1, 2026 for 2027 and 2028 rates. Its customer notice puts the 2027 increase for a residential customer using 660 kWh a month at $14.67, or 10.28%, before fuel costs ($13.35 with 2026 fuel costs factored in), the figure shown here, and another $8.69, or 5.52%, in 2028. The 4.7% (2027) and 4.5% (2028) figures in news coverage are the overall electric revenue increase across all customers, $175.8 million in 2027. The proposal depends on the commission approving separate data center tariffs, and the company expects new rates to start in January 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/peco-energy-co-2026-pa/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/peco-energy-co-2026-pa/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPECO filed an electric rate case on March 30, 2026 seeking $429 million a year, a 12.5% increase for residential electric customers, to pay for grid reliability work and customer programs. Less than three weeks later, on April 16, PECO petitioned to withdraw the filing, citing customer affordability and conversations with Gov. Josh Shapiro. Current electric distribution rates stay in place for now.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/puget-sound-energy-2026-wa/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/puget-sound-energy-2026-wa/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPuget Sound Energy filed a three-year electric and natural gas rate plan with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission on February 27, 2026 (dockets UE-260005 and UG-260006).

PSE says it needs the money to invest more than $3.2 billion in its gas and electric system, handle growing demand and meet state clean energy laws, and it asks for a 10.8% return on equity. The case is contested, with evidentiary hearings set for November 3-5, 2026 and the commission's suspension period ending January 27, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/avista-2026-wa/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/avista-2026-wa/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTAvista filed a four-year electric and natural gas rate plan with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission on January 16, 2026 (dockets UE-260007 and UG-260008). On the electric side it seeks $111.0 million in 2027 (16.5% in base rates, 13.9% on a billed basis), then $42.5 million (4.7% billed) in 2028, $33.5 million (3.5%) in 2029 and $27.9 million (2.8%) in 2030, over four years; the residential billed increase for 2027 is 13.9%, or $17.21 a month for a customer using 925 kWh who pays $124.23 today. Avista says it needs the money for grid modernization, wildfire safety, hydro upgrades, clean-energy compliance and power supply costs not in current rates, and it asks for a 10.2% return on equity. The case is contested: evidentiary hearings were held September 17-18, 2026, the commission's statutory suspension date is December 15, 2026, and Avista wants new rates on January 1, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/public-service-co-of-oklahoma-2026-ok/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/public-service-co-of-oklahoma-2026-ok/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPublic Service Company of Oklahoma filed a rate review with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission on Jan. 2, 2026, seeking a $299 million annual base-rate increase that PSO said would add about $25 a month, or 15%, to the bill of a residential customer using 1,100 kWh; it cited grid investment and growing demand. In June 2026 PSO, commission staff and other parties filed a non-unanimous partial settlement for a $73 million increase with a 9.375% return on equity, which the Attorney General says cuts the residential increase to about 1%, or $2.45 a month. Interim rates of about $11 a month for a typical residential customer took effect July 1, 2026, subject to refund. An administrative law judge's report was filed Aug. 21, 2026, and the commission had not set a decision date as of September 2026.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/public-service-co-of-colorado-2025-co/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/public-service-co-of-colorado-2025-co/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTXcel Energy (Public Service Company of Colorado) filed on November 21, 2025 for a $355.6 million electric increase, which would have lifted the average residential bill from $100 to $110 a month (9.9%) to recover three years of infrastructure and clean energy spending. In June 2026 Xcel, commission staff and several groups filed a settlement proposing about $224.9 million, roughly 37% below the request (Colorado PUC newsletter).

The company cites plant investment, coal ash compliance and a 10.95% return on equity. In July 2026 it reached a settlement with business and clean-energy parties that lowers the return to 9.8%; the commission has not yet ruled, and not every party signed.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/duke-energy-progress-2025-nc/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/duke-energy-progress-2025-nc/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTDuke Energy Progress filed with the North Carolina Utilities Commission on November 20, 2025 for a two-year plan worth about $729 million, or 15.1% overall over 2027 and 2028 (SEC filing).

It points to plant investment, coal ash costs and a 10.95% return on equity. By August 2026 it had settled with the state's Public Staff for a smaller increase that would raise residential rates 6.8% over two years; the attorney general declined to sign, and the commission still has to decide, with new rates targeted for January 1, 2027.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/southwestern-public-service-co-nm-2025-nm/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/southwestern-public-service-co-nm-2025-nm/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTSouthwestern Public Service, Xcel Energy's New Mexico utility, filed a rate case with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission on November 20, 2025 (Case No. 25-00079-UT) asking for $175.4 million more a year, a 16.73% increase in total revenue (24.25% in base-rate revenue), based on a future test year ending November 30, 2027 and a 10.5% return on equity. Xcel lists capital investment and a larger share of system costs shifting to New Mexico retail customers as wholesale load rolls off as the main drivers. SPS lowered the request to $168 million in March 2026, and on June 22, 2026 it filed a non-unanimous stipulation with the New Mexico Department of Justice, large customers and others for a $90 million increase (7.7% total) and a 9.5% return on equity, parts of which commission staff opposes.

The commission put that request at $10.24 a month for the average residential customer, or 5.85% in Montgomery County and 5.79% in Prince George's County. Pepco said it needed the revenue to keep providing safe and reliable distribution service. On August 28, 2026 the commission authorized $50.9 million at a 9.40% return on equity and disallowed the White Flint project costs, so the average residential bill rises about $3.94 a month (2.25% in Montgomery, 2.23% in Prince George's), effective that day.https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/ppl-electric-utilities-2025-pa/https://billhike.com/rate-hikes/ppl-electric-utilities-2025-pa/#2026-10-16Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMTPPL Electric Utilities asked the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission on September 30, 2025 for its first distribution base-rate increase since 2016, about $356.3 million a year, or roughly 8.6% of total company revenue. Its customer notice said a residential customer using 1,000 kWh would see the total monthly bill rise from $191.49 to $204.86, or 6.98%; the company pointed to the upkeep of nearly 47,000 miles of distribution lines, 1 million poles and hundreds of substations. On June 4, 2026 the commission approved a modified settlement worth about $275 million a year with a two-year stay-out on new base-rate increases.

The public notice of the case says a typical residential bill at 805 kWh would rise $19.43, or 13.7%, from $141.60 to $161.03; TEP also cited about 14% (about $16 a month) at a median 638 kWh. TEP says it has invested $1.7 billion since 2021 and asks for a 10.5% return on equity and a new annual formula-rate adjustment mechanism; it later trimmed the request, and its July 2026 update puts the median residential increase at 11.6% ($12.92 a month), while the Attorney General's office argues for about 4%.
