We are the common voice of Wisconsin's community-owned electric power providers. Alongside our members and allies, we advocate for policies that help to advance the benefits of public power across the state. Together, Wisconsin’s municipal utilities: 

• Strongly support Wisconsin’s current approach to regulating utilities, which has proven highly effective for more than a century. 
• Actively engage with Focus on Energy and help to promote energy efficiency.
• Support efforts to expand critical infrastructure and to continue modernizing the electric grid to meet changing customer expectations and adoption of electric vehicles and other beneficial electrification.
• Welcome new technologies like 5G to our communities, and we also prioritize equitable cost recovery, electric reliability, and employee safety.
• Believe in an “all-of-the-above” approach to power supply and strive to provide safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible electricity to our customers.
