Commission authorizes counsel to sign Wisconsin onto joint comments to FERC

The commission met virtually on Sept. 8, 2025, and after going into closed session under Wisconsin Statute § 19.85(1)(g) to discuss litigation, voted to authorize the chief legal counsel and commission staff to sign Wisconsin onto joint comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in agenda item 5 EI 20 25. "I move we go into closed session pursuant to Wisconsin statute section 19.85 sub 1 g to discuss the litigation matter identified in agenda item 1," a member said during the meeting. After reconvening in open session, the presiding officer asked for a motion on the actions discussed in closed session; a member moved to authorize the counsel and staff "to, sign onto the joint comments to FERC, in 5 EI 20 25." The motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally; the transcript records only the voice "Aye." The commission concluded its business and adjourned; its next scheduled meeting is Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. "Now we are done with our agenda for today. So, at this point, our official business is concluded," the presiding officer said before adjourning.
