We Energies customers are in for another round of rate hikes over the next two years, although not as steep as the utility first proposed. Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission voted Thursday to approve a roughly 7% increase in We Energies’ electricity rates spread across 2027 and 2028 — the utility’s sixth consecutive rate hike. The utility expects an average residential customer’s monthly bill to rise between $7 and $8 per month in 2027 and again by between $6 and $7 the following year.

Cirrus Plans Germantown Rental Development

Carillon at Germantown is a proposed rental development by Cirrus Property Group. The firm also has a project underway in Grafton. The Germantown development has been described with differing unit counts in public records and reporting. A site plan application filed with the village identifies Daniel Hasbani of Cirrus Property Group as agent for Tanner Hahn of Faith Lutheran Church and describes the project as a 36-unit multifamily development at W172N11187 Division Road. A Milwaukee Business Journal report from January similarly characterized the plan as a 36-unit rental project. But a BizTimes report on the same church-partnered proposal described it as a 42-unit apartment community, and the available records do not clarify whether the project's size changed between filings or whether the two accounts refer to different versions of the plan.
