Renewable Energy Incentives for Homes and Businesses

Focus on Energy is currently developing incentives to help Wisconsin utility customers take advantage of renewable energy technologies. More information about Focus on Energy’s renewable energy offerings will be available in the coming months.

Before considering a renewable energy system it is important to first maximize the energy efficiency of a home or business. When overall energy use is reduced as a result of energy efficiency improvements, a smaller, less costly renewable energy system can be used to meet remaining energy needs.

Focus on Energy can help to maximize the energy efficiency of a home or business. Visit Focus on Energy’s Residential and Business pages for more information about ways you can save energy and money in your home or business.

Renewable Energy Incentives
In November 2011 the Wisconsin Public Service Commission approved a set of criteria that will be used to guide future inclusion of renewable energy technologies into Focus on Energy.

Per the Commission’s order, Focus on Energy is currently screening individual renewable energy technologies to determine which technologies will be included in the program offerings and will be eligible to receive a Focus on Energy incentive. This process is expected to conclude in the spring of 2012.

Ultimately the Public Service Commission will determine what renewable energy incentives will be included in the portfolio.
