Advancing understanding of public policy issues in the utility industry through the Wisconsin Idea
Welcome to the new site
WPUI has a new site!
In order to make updating the site easier and allow for more dynamic content, we’ve completely overhauled the backend for the Institute’s site. The content is mostly the same but should allow WPUI staff to focus more time on content and less time on fighting the website. It should also offer us more flexibility and provide a user experience that’s a little more 2009 and less 1999.
Feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you think or any features you would like to see.

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.
