We Energies: Lower heating bills expected for customers this winter

MILWAUKEE - We Energies announced on Friday, Oct. 27 that its customers should see lower heating bills this winter.

A news release says a We Energies analysis shows the typical residential customer will pay $50 to $60 less this winter compared to last year. The analysis assumes typical winter weather.

The predicted decrease is due to We Energies’ proactive approach to buying and storing natural gas when prices are lower as well as the worldwide decline of natural gas prices.

Assistance available

The state of Wisconsin is expected to have nearly $150 million in low-income heating assistance this winter.

Any customer concerned about their bill is encouraged to contact We Energies right away to discuss bill payment options, budget billing and energy assistance. Customers can connect with the company 24 hours a day online, through the We Energies app or by calling 800-242-9137.
