Two Rivers Water & Light Least
Expensive of Area Utilites
Monthly Electric Rate Comparison
Based on
2009
Estimates
Two Rivers Water & Light was founded in 1902. While a lot has changed
over the past century, the focus of the utility has not. Today, we still
offer our customers some of the lowest electric rates in the area - rates
significantly lower than those in territories that are served by
investor-owned utilities. Two Rivers Water & Light also provides three-phase power to the city's industrial parks.
The 2009 rate comparison by the Public
Service Commission of Wisconsin Shows Two Rivers Water & Light has the
lowest rates of all other area utilities in all categories; residential,
general service, small power service, and large customers.
