Wisconsin Electric Power Co
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
Wisconsin Electric Power Co serves 1,048,148 residential customers in Wisconsin as an investor-owned utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 28 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 19.23¢ per kilowatthour, 12% above the Wisconsin average of 17.18¢ and 17% above the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $120.21 a month on average use of 625 kWh a month. Across Wisconsin the average bill was $110.87 on 645 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 296.0 minutes per customer with major event days included and 109.0 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Wisconsin utilities reporting was 51.0 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 480% above that median.
The average price is up 24.5% on 2019, against up 21.2% for Wisconsin as a whole, and up 1.4% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 20.53¢.

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 30.3 TWh in total, of which 65.9% was its own net generation and 10.3 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 5,373 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 1.04 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.74 without; CAIDI 284.6 minutes per interruption. EIA's Wisconsin total across all reporting utilities was 266.1 minutes with major event days and 91.3 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
