Values read from the text of the WPS Wisconsin electric tariff sheets that the WPS Wisconsin tariffs page links to: Rate Schedule Rg-1 (43rd Rev. Sheet No. E5.00), Schedule RgX (Sheet No. E5.20) and Schedule ACF (40th Rev. Sheet No. E3.20). The WPS residential rates page and the January 2026 WPS rate insert print the same customer charge, energy charge and fuel cost adjustment. The PSC Final Decision in docket 6690-UR-128 (Appendix C, Schedule 4) prints typical Rg-1 bills at the authorized 2026 rates. These bills use 365/12 days and a fuel cost adjustment of zero. A hand calculation with the Rg-1 rates gives seven of the eight typical bills to the cent (1,000 kWh: $165.94). At 750 kWh, the energy line is exactly $111.015. We round it up to $111.02, so our total is $128.94. The PSC table prints $128.93. The test bills are hand calculations.
