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.
