Hearing Required Before Utility Passes On Costs
Dane County Circuit Judge Michael Torphy ruled utilities may not automatically pass on higher labor and material costs to customers without a hearing. The decision concerns a Wisconsin Electric Power Co. fuel-cost adjustment clause upheld by the Public Service Commission and challenged by Environmental Decade, who argued such formulas reduce public scrutiny and may raise rates without investigation. Torphy said state law lacks authorization for automatic rate increases and warned broader fuel-adjustment provisions could face further challenges.
