This rule will not affect small businesses. The Wisconsin Stat. § 227.114 (1) definition of “small business” states that to be considered a small business, the business must not be dominant in its field. Since electric utilities are monopolies in their service territories, they are dominant in their fields and are not small businesses. K. Agency Contact Person
