Wisconsin Public Service says colder temperatures and higher gas prices are driving up energy bills.
The utility says this is the coldest winter in about a decade, and gas costs are up roughly 18-percent from last year. Officials say increased demand locally and nationwide has pushed prices higher, though WPS does not profit from the gas it buys. WPS says it uses storage and fixed contracts to help manage price swings. Customers struggling with higher bills are urged to contact WPS about budget billing, time of use savings, rebates, or payment plans.
