Member Services
GLU offers each of its community members multiple benefits and services. Members have the opportunity to be involved in a monthly meeting to discuss current issues, ATC and MISO.
GLU members are not dependent on a single IOU for their power supply.
As a project agency, GLU allows members to choose those benefits and services of joint action that are most suited to their communities.
GLU’s aggregated load is approximately 525 MW and 3 million MWH. Joint action allows for economies of scale for an efficient operation, long term competitive power supply to members, and shared use of existing member resources.
GLU, on behalf of its members, weighs in on energy industry issues to advance and protect the interests of our citizen owners at FERC, MISO, PSCW and legislative matters as appropriate.
There is no initial cost to join GLU.
Each member community has a representative on the GLU Board.
