Introducing the Wisconsin
Public Utility Institute
Founded in 1982, the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute's mission
is to advance understanding of public policy issues in the electricity, gas, and telecommunications industries. It
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.
The activities of the Institute follow the "Wisconsin Idea" of
applying the resources of the University to meet the need for information outside of the University's boundary. The
Institute achieves its mission through the exchange, creation, integration, transfer and application of knowledge. It
provides forums for discussion, dialog, and debate on public policy issues. It engages innovative programming enhanced
by creative use of advanced information technologies and effective communication techniques. Furthermore, it fosters
research that enriches and complements its information and education programs and services.
