MEUG and our members want an affordable and reliable electricity supply supporting a productive economy.
Electricity is a key input for our members’ businesses. It enables our members to support regional communities, employ thousands of people in well paying jobs, and helps to pay for the essential services we all take for granted that are critical to a dynamic and thriving economy.
An affordable and reliable electricity market where customers believe they are paying a fair or justifiable price is essential to a productive economy.
It allows industry and businesses to produce products at a competitive price, allowing our exporters to compete internationally, grow export revenue, drive job creation, and reinvest in their businesses.
