Thursday webinar will review updated A to Z Guidebook: A reference guide used by municipal electric utilities and electric cooperatives has recently been updated. The A to Z Guidebook is designed for munis and coops that have elected to create their own Commitment-to-Community program for either low-income energy assistance, energy efficiency, or both. First created in 2008, the guide has been revised periodically since that time, including in late 2020. The latest version can be downloaded here.
A free, one-hour webinar is planned for Thursday, May 13, beginning at 1:00 p.m., to provide a general overview of the A to Z Guidebook and review changes made in the most recent revision. To participate, please pre-register at this link. The webinar will be hosted and presented by Slipstream, the firm contracted to update the guidebook.

We want to hear from you: The April 29 Electric Operations Expo was something new for MEUW, the utility supplier community, and our member utilities. Turnout for the event met — and even exceeded — our expectations, and we appreciate all who traveled to Baraboo to attend. As we turn our attention to planning for future events, we want to get your input about this year’s Expo. Even if you did not attend, your opinion matters. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts by completing a brief survey here.
Lodi Utilities has about 1,200 electric meters (like the one shown here) that are looking for a new home — other than the landfill. If your utility has interest, please call James Lincoln at (608) 695-3061 to learn more.
