What makes Wisconsin different
- Prices aren’t regulated. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) says the contract between you and your supplier sets the terms. Get prices, fees and delivery terms in writing.
- Big fall-to-spring swing. Last season, Wisconsin’s average went from $1.71 in early October to $2.07 by late March, a 21% rise. On a 400-gallon fill, that’s about $140.
- Home Energy Plus. Wisconsin’s WHEAP program helps with heating costs, including propane, and offers crisis help and furnace repair or replacement for eligible households.

My take on Wisconsin propane this winter
Wisconsin opened at $1.81, among the lowest prices in the EIA survey, but last winter it rose 36¢ from October to March, one of the bigger climbs in the Midwest.
My estimate for a typical Wisconsin propane home is about $1,160 for November to March, about $70 more than at last October’s prices. With a climb like last year’s, a fall fill or prebuy at today’s price looks like the smart move. See how Wisconsin compares with other states. — Nathan Brooks
