Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin (MEUW) is a state association that has been providing safety services, leadership and management training, advocacy, and member support to 81 municipal electric utilities across Wisconsin since 1928. These public power utilities, with century-old roots in their communities, distribute approximately 11% of the state's electricity, serving over 300,000 homes and businesses in 43 counties. Known for their affordable rates and highly reliable service, these not-for-profit utilities are overseen by local governing boards composed of local citizens and elected officials.
MEUW actively engages with state and federal elected officials, advocating for policies that advance the benefits of public power in Wisconsin. They support the state's current approach to regulating utilities, promote energy efficiency through programs like Focus on Energy, and strive to modernize the electric grid to meet changing customer expectations and the adoption of electric vehicles. MEUW welcomes new technologies like 5G, prioritizes equitable cost recovery, electric reliability, and employee safety, and believes in an all-of-the-above approach to power supply, providing safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible electricity to their customers.
