What does Village of Waunakee - (WI)'s residential rate cost?
Village of Waunakee - (WI) files a single residential tariff, so there is no plan to choose between — everyone served here is on the same terms. That makes this page short on comparison and long on one question instead: what does that tariff actually do to a bill?
Priced hour by hour across a full year, a small apartment on this tariff comes to about $1,013 and a three-bedroom house with central air to about $1,837 — an effective 20.8¢ and 19.4¢ per kilowatt-hour once the fixed charge is spread across everything used.
With one plan and no hourly pricing, the only lever left is using less. Moving laundry or car charging to the middle of the night changes nothing here, which is worth knowing before you rearrange your evenings for no reason.
Expect the bill to swing with the weather rather than with anything you decide: the same house costs around $209 in July and $119 in February. Budget against the higher figure and the summer bill stops being a surprise.
How Village of Waunakee compares across Wisconsin

The range runs from $1,209 at Superior Water and Light to $2,032 at Wisconsin Electric Power, and since the utility is set by the address, the part of that gap you can act on is the plan, not the company.
