Good news for MID customers! No electric rate increases in 2027 💡⚡

Yesterday, the MID Board of Directors unanimously approved the 2027 budget—following a busy summer of budget workshops, including thoughtful discussion and careful review.

Throughout the process, MID staff and the Board evaluated projects based on need, timing, and overall value to ensure we’re making responsible investments while keeping costs top of mind.

MID continues to invest in the infrastructure needed to provide the essential services you rely on every day. The approximately $600 million 2027 budget, with no electric rate increases, reflects our ongoing commitment to thoughtful planning, fiscal stewardship, and the customers we serve.
