Marshfield Utilities Commission 9 14 26

The Marshfield Utilities Commission held a meeting on September 14, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related topics. Key discussions included updates on the Great Lakes Utilities (GLU) activities, an RFP for renewable power supply options, and the lead service line replacement program with proposed timeline extensions and funding considerations. The commission approved an updated economic development fund governance policy and authorized participation in a joint Public Service Commission (PSC) filing to update the electric parallel generation tariff, aiming to align buyback rates with market-based pricing and reduce costs. Additionally, the commission passed a resolution to participate with a 30% ownership interest in the GLU Marshfield Generation Project, a natural gas generation facility, with further financial commitments subject to future approvals. Job orders under $50,000 were reviewed for information, and financial reports for July and August were presented. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter a closed session to discuss property purchasing, public fund investments, and project proposals related to the Marshfield Generation Project and Wisconsin Public Service Corporation term sheet.
