If approved, the average residential UPPCO customer would see a 7.6% increase, or about $6.28 a month. The rates for customers on UPPCO's Iron River system would rise about $4.61 a month. UPPCO made the request to recover costs associated with improved service and rising employee and retiree benefits.
