Membership dues:

USWAG Membership dues are derived from a formula that considers a company's total capacity, coal capacity (including coal retirement dates), electric sales, and natural 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. Please reach out to learn more about USWAG dues formula.
