FERC ordered Wisconsin Electric Power Co. and a Northern Michigan cooperative into settlement proceedings to resolve a complaint over excessive rates.

The D.C. Circuit Court will hear oral arguments on April 6 in a challenge to a 2016 FERC order that reallocated most costs for the Presque Isle SSR agreement.

FERC accepted MISO’s plan to refund Michigan ratepayers $24.6 million in overcharges stemming from SSR agreements imposed on Presque Isle.

FERC ruled that WEPCo overcharged ratepayers on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula by almost $23 million under MISO-ordered SSR agreements.

A group of Upper Peninsula electric users in MISO plans to ask FERC to investigate WEPCo. for allegedly falsifying records to increase its revenues under the Presque Isle SSR.
