CUB is a certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization
You have a business to run. It is hard to stay on top of things locally let alone at the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC) where your electric rates are set. That’s where the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin comes in. We advocate for all small utility customers from individual citizens to small businesses and farmers for fair, safe and reliable utility service. We monitor the changing energy world and put the utility customer first.
CUB small business members benefit from our team of legislative, utility and communications experts who advocate tirelessly for your business at the Public Service Commission, the state Capitol, in the courts, and at regulatory agencies.
Small Business Membership Benefits:
Advocacy: CUB business membership keeps you up-to-date on issues that matter to you.
Empowerment: CUB will help you take action and share your thoughts with Wisconsin government officials.
Access: CUB can help your organization and employees save resources and money.
Outreach: CUB will help small business members partner with other members and like-minded organizations to bring these issues to the public. CUB staff can answer questions about energy related matters as well as provide free one-on-one utility bill consultations.
Partnership Opportunities: CUB partners with community groups interested in learning about utility issues. We provide presentations on how to understand your utility bills, how the PSC works and how you can get involved. Plus, we can provide information on energy costs you can control. Let us know what you’re interested in, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Andrew Hartinger
CUB Board member since 2020
Why did you want to join the CUB Board?
I believe in CUB’s mission to advocate for consumers for fair prices from utility companies, and that Wisconsin needs CUB as a voice to represent consumers because of the utilities’ status as a regulated monopoly.
What are your goals for your first term on the board?
I plan to use my skills in the areas of finance, internal controls, and financial reporting to
help CUB in budgeting, reviewing financial results. This will ensure CUB can sustain consistent operations and maximize its funding to further its mission.
I will review CUB’s financial reporting and explain results to constituents and other board members.
