WUI Members Enjoy a State Historic Site at This Year’s Annual Meeting

Annual Meeting
The Wade House and Carriage Museum in Greenbush, Wisconsin, was the setting for a record number of utility investors at the 2019 Wisconsin Utility Investors Annual Meeting of Members. During a brief business meeting, two-term board member Trudy Popenhagen stepped down and former Xcel Energy Regulatory Executive, Donald Reck, was elected to serve on the WUI Board of Directors. Following the annual business meeting, members learned about overall trends in the utility industry as well as the large scale solar and wind technology projects which are currently underway.
The WUI Board of Directors wishes to thank our excellent guest speakers, Attorney Andrew Hanson, Senior Counsel of Perkins Coie LLP who spoke about large scale utility solar, Commissioner Ellen Nowak of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission who spoke about energy policy and issues, and government relations representatives Elise Nelson from Alliant Energy, Matthew Pagel from Xcel Energy, and Chris LaRowe and Joel Haubrich of WEC Energy Group, who updated the membership about their respective company progress and initiatives. Members were also able to meet with shareholder representatives from MGE Energy, Alliant Energy, Xcel Energy and WEC Energy Group.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Curator Jim Willaert, introduced the membership to the Carriage Museum and sent them on their way to enjoy the historic site; including a working sawmill, blacksmith shop and Wade House Carriage stop via horse drawn carriage rides. We apologize to the members who were not able to enjoy a carriage ride due to the overwhelming response to the opportunity.
Please visit our new website at www.wuiinc.org for all the current news on the Energy industry and Wisconsin Utility projects. The WUI Board of Directors appreciates your feedback and support. To that end, WUI will continue to hold meetings at historical and otherwise engaging Wisconsin locations.
A new opportunity to join WUI with a “Lifetime Membership” was introduced at this year’s annual meeting. With a Lifetime Membership, yearly dues of $15 will be a thing of the past, though Annual Memberships are still available.
Membership information is available from the WUI Website, and dues may now be paid by credit card.
