Mission Statement:
To advance the common interests of investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities in Michigan for better service to customers, shareholders, and the public.
Overview:
The Michigan Electric and Gas Association (MEGA) is a trade association established in 1984 to provide a collective voice in Michigan government and public affairs for its board member investor-owned electric and gas utilities. MEGA works with the Michigan legislature, federal and state regulatory agencies and the entire Michigan energy industry to assure safe, reliable and affordable electric and gas utility service.
Board Members:
There are currently eleven MEGA Board member investor-owned utilities, including Alpena Power Company, Aurora Gas Company, Citizens Gas Fuel Company, Edison Sault Electric Company, Indiana Michigan Power Company, Michigan Gas Utilities, Upper Peninsula Power Company, We Energies, Wisconsin Public Service Corporation and Xcel Energy. These companies collectively serve more than 261,000 electric and 190,000 gas utility customers in Michigan.
Supporters:
MEGA works with all of the investor-owned utilities in Michigan on matters of common interest, utilizing either its committee structure or task-oriented working groups. MEGA receives support from committee and affiliate members, including The Detroit Edison Company, Consumers Energy Company, Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, SEMCO Energy Gas Company and American Transmission Company. MEGA works cooperatively with other associations representing Michigan utilities, including the Michigan Electric Cooperative Association, the Michigan Municipal Electric Association and MISS DIG Systems, Inc. and the Coalition To Keep Michigan Warm.
Activities:
MEGA serves as a forum for industry communication and information exchange on matters of public policy, legal issues, legislation and utility service.
