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.

In 2016, Bob was elected as a volunteer member of the CUB board of directors. Here is how Bob responded when asked about his commitment to CUB.
Why are you excited to be a part of CUB and serving as a CUB board member?
I am excited to serve on the board to continue to play a role in shaping energy issues that are so important to individuals and businesses in Wisconsin
What is the value of CUB to you, your business, your community?
The value of the Citizens Utility Board to me is to be aware of and to have a say on how complicated energy issues are best understood, analyzed, and decided.
From a big picture perspective, why is CUB important to the state of Wisconsin?
The Citizens Utility Board is important to the state because as a representative of small customers it, by far, represents the most customers across the state. It’s needed to balance the competing interests of large customers and utilities and their shareholders.
