Precedent Set in Wisconsin Ruling on Municipal Electric Competition
The Wisconsin Public Service Commission authorized Hustisford in Dodge County to compete with the private Hustisford Light and Power, marking a first in state utility regulation. The village will buy power wholesale from Wisconsin Gas and Electric and build a distribution plant, citing higher local rates and lack of overbuilt property by the private utility. The decision signals a potential new era as Hudson’s bid to enter electric service may follow similar justifications. The commission noted rate bases far above real values, with three commissioners aligning on the order.
