On May 14th, Wisconsin Utility Investors Day at the Capitol, 18 out of 33 Senators and 25 Assembly Representatives hosted meetings with Wisconsin Utility Investor members.

Executive Director James Buchen kicked off the busy day by preparing WUI member attendees for meetings with their State Senator and Representative by providing a legislative analysis of the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) legislation. Ellen Nowak, Vice President of State and Federal Affairs at ATC, offered insights into the bill's historical, economic, and practical aspects to facilitate engagement during their meetings.

WUI members enjoyed lunch at the Best Western Park Hotel while Representative David Steffen, Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Energy and Utilities, addressed the group. Rep. Steffen assured the audience that legislators value input from their constituents to understand how various pieces of legislation will impact the people they represent. The members were also briefed on current legislation aimed at securing our energy future through investments in new nuclear power plants.

If you weren’t able to join us on May 14, you can still contact your legislators and urge them to vote “YES” on Senate Bill 28 and Assembly Bill 25.
