| Balancing the demands of consumers, regulators, policymakers, and stakeholders is a daunting task for utilities, even under the best of circumstances. Add to this the ever increasing complexity of contemporary utility issues and simply keeping up with the changing landscape can become a full time job. Professional development courses and topic seminars from the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute combine the resources of the University of Wisconsin with the best in professional experience to provide an unbiased forum in which issues can be discussed, knowledge enhanced, and alternatives and possible solutions identified. A member driven institution, WPUI seeks to 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.
