Your power bill is about to get a bump—Lincoln Electric System’s proposed 2027 rate hike could add $10 a month to your average bill, part of a planned 4% revenue boost to cover soaring fuel and power costs. This would be the third rate increase in five years, with 2% hikes already penciled in for 2025 and 2026. While officials say they’re balancing tough financial realities with customer concerns, they also note rates have dropped five times in the past five years. The budget also funds $175M in new projects, with final votes expected by October. Meanwhile, Crete’s stepping in with $1M to ease customer strain.
