Membership Dues

If your company meets the above criteria for USWAG membership, you may determine an estimate for your company's dues:

Download the current USWAG dues formula.
Using the formula, determine your company's total shares (by adding together the shares for total capacity, coal capacity, electric sales, and gas sales). Each component of the formula (total capacity, coal capacity, electric sales, gas sales) has its own share amount, which is determined by what range your data for that component fits into.
The completed form will give you an estimate for what your company's USWAG dues would be.
