Send us removal request.
We are lifting the request for customers to reduce natural gas use.
This morning the amount of natural gas being delivered by interstate pipelines into Wisconsin is back to levels that should meet all customers’ needs.

We're urging customers to reduce natural gas use by immediately lowering thermostats to 60 to 62 degrees. This request comes after one of the interstate pipeline suppliers who provides natural gas to us experienced a significant equipment failure.
