NSP-WI 2017 Electric Rate Request [Table Text Block]

The following table outlines the filed request:

Electric Rate Request (Millions of Dollars)	Request
Rate base investments	$	11.0
Generation and transmission expenses (excluding fuel and purchased power)	6.8
Fuel and purchased power expenses	11.0
Subtotal	28.8
2015 fuel refund (a)	(9.5		)
Department of Energy settlement refund	(1.9		)
Total electric rate increase	$	17.4

^(a)  In July 2016, the PSCW required NSP-Wisconsin to return the 2015 fuel refund directly to customers, rather than using it to offset the proposed 2017 rate increase, as originally proposed by NSP-Wisconsin. This decision effectively increases NSP-Wisconsin’s requested electric rate increase to $26.9 million, or 3.8 percent.
