Milwaukee city leaders and residents are advocating for a 2% cap on annual utility rate increases in light of rising energy costs from data center developments. They are calling on the Common Council to address affordability, with some communities experiencing rate hikes of 10% to 25%.

We Energies has proposed that data center companies pay 75% of energy costs, with only 25% passed on to ratepayers. This plan aims to ensure fair utility rates across different communities.
