Xcel Requests Hike

Folks in western Wisconsin could soon be paying more for electricity and natural gas.

Xcel Energy last week asked regulators in Madison for permission to raise rates. The plan would hike electric rates by more than nine dollars a month, and would increase natural gas prices by about four-dollars and 50-cents per-month. Xcel says the company needs more money to update their energy infrastructure. A decision is expected by the end of the year.
