Right of First Refusal

We need your support

The Right of First Refusal (ROFR) bill would benefit our members by allowing incumbent transmission companies to build new transmission projects in our service area. Not only would jobs stay local, but ROFR would help stabilize electric rates for our members. Incumbent transmission companies would have the first opportunity at a project with this bill, ensuring we have more control over our electric grid. More details are available on Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News website.

 

TAKE ACTION
We need support from our members to pass the ROFR bill through the assembly and senate. We ask that members call or email their senators or representatives with the message below:

As a member of my electric cooperative and your constituent, please support the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) legislation. State oversight and bidding requirements ensure that projects will be both necessary and cost effective. When my electric co-op’s transmission provider is a project partner, I benefit from their participation. Investment returns will be shared with my not-for-profit co-op to keep my electric rates lower when transmission lines are built.
