CUB is committed to collaboration and dialogue to help Wisconsin policymakers achieve policies that are supportive of utility rates and policies that are affordable and fair.
Here is a sampling of the collaboration work we’re involved in:

Founded in 1982, the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute advances understanding and discussion of relevant utility industry topics and emerging trends in the electric, natural gas, and water industries. WPUI provides information and education programs in addition to other services that aid in the examination and development of appropriate public policies for those industries. Its programs and services communicate the diversity of views that exist on current policy issues, particularly the leading-edge issues that will affect the future of those industries and the customers they serve. WPUI is a member-supported and member-driven organization that relies solely on membership fees and program registration fees to fund its work. The activities of WPUI follow the Wisconsin Idea of applying the resources of the University of Wisconsin-Madison to meet the need for information outside of the University’s boundaries.

CUB is a member and serves on the board of directors of the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute.
