The same plan is cheapest at every level of use here, so the answer does not turn on how much you use. Estimates from the filed tariff, priced hour by hour on a household with central air — not a quote.

How much does the plan you pick actually matter here?

Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through every plan Wisconsin Electric Power Co files, and the bill lands anywhere between $1,827 and $2,032 a year. That $205 spread is not a difference in electricity — it is the same kilowatt-hours, from the same wires, priced under different rules. Nobody sends you a letter when you are on the wrong side of it.

The plan most households land on by default, Residential (Single-Phase) Rg 1, comes to about $2,032. The cheapest option here, Residential Time-of-Use (Single-Phase, Option A) Rg 2, comes to $1,827 — a gap of about $205 a year for a household that never changed a single habit. Whether you can actually capture that depends on when you use power, which is what the calculator below is for.

8 of these 10 plans price by the hour. Those are the ones where moving laundry, dishes, or car charging into the cheap window changes the bill; on the rest, the clock is irrelevant and only the total matters. Which camp you belong in is the first question worth settling, because it decides whether shifting your day is worth anything at all.

How Wisconsin Electric Power compares across Wisconsin

Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through its default plan at each of the 6 Wisconsin utilities we cover, and Wisconsin Electric Power is the dearest of the lot at about $2,032 a year; the state median is $1,650. The cheapest, Superior Water and Light, charges $1,209 for identical use — a gap set by the address, not by anything either household did.

The other two households tell the same story in different sizes: a small apartment pays about $1,133 here against a state median of $945, and the same house with an electric car charging overnight about $2,747 against $2,211. Effective rate, fixed charge included, is 21.5¢ per kilowatt-hour for the family home.

Inside Wisconsin Electric Power itself, the gap between its cheapest and dearest plan for that house is $205 a year — less than the $823 between Wisconsin's cheapest and dearest utilities. Here the address decides most of the bill; the plan decides the rest.

A weekday in January on Residential Time-of-Use (Single-Phase, Option A) Rg 2 — the back row is how much you use each hour, the front row is what that hour costs. Both are colored by the price at that hour. $4.35 a day, and 6pm alone accounts for $0.44 of it — the same power at 12am would cost $0.17. Rows are scaled separately; kWh and dollars are not the same units.

Same usage, different plan

$211a year

That is the gap between the cheapest plan you could be on — Residential Time-of-Use (Single-Phase, Option A) Rg 2 — and the priciest. Not by using less power. By being billed differently for the same power.

An estimate, not a quote. Supply charges move month to month, and your real usage pattern is not exactly this one. What it does show reliably is the gap between plans — both are priced off the same assumptions.
