Rob Richard of the Wisconsin Electric Cooperatives Association joins Kristin Gilkes as co-host of the latest episode of the Electric Wire, which is all about electric cooperatives.
We’ll meet representatives from four electric cooperatives from across the state, including:
· Robert Cornell, Manager, Washington Island Electric Cooperative
· Monica Obrycki, President and CEO, Eau Claire Energy Cooperative
· Karen Newbury, Director, Price Electric Cooperative (also WECA Board member and Dairyland Power Cooperative Board member)
· Nate Boettcher, President and CEO, Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services
Our discussion includes stories about cooperation among co-ops, energy generation and reliability, the new Charge EV network for electric vehicle charging at cooperatives, and bringing broadband to cooperative members.
Note: WECA is a Founding Member of the Customers First! Coalition.
