(Ed. note. This matter was discussed at the meeting of Water and Light last week. WPPI is the wholesale supplier of many of the cities surrounding Evansville. There may be a cost saving. The following is the summary from the memorandum from Mr. Connors on the subject.)
"Wisconsin Public Power, Inc.
The Common Council will hear a presentation from Wisconsin Public Power, Inc. (WPPI) regarding the benefits of joining WPPI. After the presentation, the Council might entertain a motion to authorize the municipal electric utility to join WPPI. WPPI is a not-for-profit municipal wholesale electric utility created in 1980. It is owned by the 40 municipalities that are members and operate municipal electric utilities (nearby municipalities that are WPPI members include Stoughton, New Glarus, and Brodhead). Currently, the Evansville municipal electric utility purchases wholesale power exclusively from Alliant Energy. If the municipal electric utility joins WPPI, it will purchase wholesale power exclusively from WPPI. The Water and Light Committee already was heard a presentation by WPPI and supports joining WPPI."
