We are excited to invite you to the Wisconsin Energy University 2025, a three-part briefing series this September at the Wisconsin State Capitol. These sessions are designed to provide a grounded, solutions-oriented look at Wisconsin’s energy landscape—past, present, and future.
Each session will feature expert-led presentations and panel discussions aimed at informing policymaking, sparking dialogue, and strengthening our collective understanding of the critical role energy plays in the health, economy, and environment of our state.
Whether you’re a lawmaker seeking to understand the impacts of energy policy, a staffer looking for technical insight, or a member of the public passionate about Wisconsin’s future—you are welcome to attend.
