Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin (MEUW) is the state association representing the interests of Wisconsin’s locally owned, locally controlled municipal electric utilities. The association has been providing service, advocacy and safety initiatives to municipal electric utilities in Wisconsin since 1928. MEUW's 82 member communities range in size from Manitowoc with a population of 33,750,

to Merrillan with a population of 539. Collectively, these public power utilities distribute over 11 percent of the electricity in Wisconsin and most have roots going back close to a century or more. Municipal utilities are operated on a not-for-profit basis, and overseen by a local governing board composed of local citizens and elected officials. They are dedicated to providing low-cost, reliable electricity to their citizens, farms, businesses and industries. As a part of our mission MEUW strives to unify and serve as a common voice for municipal utilities and to provide them with the support they need to be able to improve service to their customers and community.

It’s and we’re sharing the reminder that safe actions save lives! Every year, more than 100,000 crashes occur in work zones. Let’s keep roadside utility work crews and each other safe. Your actions behind the wheel can be forever. When you see the orange cones, it’s a sign to put down the phone and slow down. Because everyone deserves to make it home.

April 18 is — a chance to thank the lineworkers who keep our communities powered and connected. Through storms, long hours, and hazardous conditions, their skill and commitment make a real difference every day.
