EnglishWhat is the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin website?
Updated
psc.wi.gov is the official homepage of the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC), a state regulatory agency—not a utility provider. It is the place to go for information on utility payment assistance, PSC-administered grant programs, public participation in cases before the Commission, broadband expansion, and energy innovation resources. Use it when you need to understand PSC programs, follow or take part in a regulatory case, or find energy and broadband funding information; it is not where you pay your electric or gas bill.
What the site covers
The homepage organizes its main functions into a few clear areas:
| Area | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| Utility Payment Assistance | Guidance encouraging electric and natural gas customers with outstanding bills to make payment arrangements with their provider or apply for financial assistance before the annual winter heating disconnection moratorium begins on November 1 |
| Grant Programs | Information on the wide variety of grant programs administered by the PSC |
| Public Participation | How to participate in cases going before the Commission for a decision |
| Broadband Expansion | Broadband grants, planning, and additional broadband resources |
| Highlighted Cases | Overview information and interactive maps for some current and recently decided cases |
| Office of Energy Innovation | Grants, federal funding opportunities through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), technical resources, and other initiatives |
Who it's for and how to use it
- Utility customers behind on bills: The site points you to two paths—arrange payment with your provider or apply for financial assistance—ahead of the November 1 winter heating disconnection moratorium. Note that the PSC itself is a regulator; payment arrangements are made with your utility, not through this site.
- People who want a say in regulatory decisions: The Public Participation section explains how to engage in cases before the Commission. Start there if you want to follow or comment on a matter under review.
- Organizations seeking funding: Use the Grant Programs and Office of Energy Innovation sections to learn about PSC-administered grants and federal funding opportunities under BIL and IRA.
- Anyone tracking broadband or active cases: The Broadband Expansion section covers grants and planning resources, while Highlighted Cases offers overviews and interactive maps of selected current and recent cases.
Staying updated
The site notes that the PSC offers a variety of ways to stay informed and receive notifications about cases and other PSC activity through its Subscribe option. Use it if you want ongoing updates rather than one-time lookups.
In short, treat psc.wi.gov as your entry point for PSC programs, case participation, and energy and broadband resources—and keep your utility account and billing matters with your provider.
