GLU municipal utilities recently signed a member agreement committing to purchase their power supply needs through Great Lakes Utilities (GLU) over the next 25 years. GLU has now begun the process of acquiring power supply agreements from wholesale providers to match the needs of their member communities.
Nilaksh Kothari, administrative manager of GLU and general manager of Manitowoc Public Utilities, said: We have been working with Wisconsin Public Service Corporation (WPSC) for many years to take advantage of its resources and ours. This new agreement provides GLU with the options to increase or decrease the amount of power that we take as our needs change. It is important for us to know that we have WPSC to help us as we grow as a new organization and add new members.
Charlie Severance, general manager of wholesale electric and renewable energy at WPSC, said: We are pleased to work with GLU and its member communities – many of which we have worked with over the years. And we’re excited to be working with the new communities.
