In March 2006, Wisconsin enacted Act 141 (2005), which requires the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (WPSC) to revise goals, priorities, and measurable targets for energy efficiency programs every 4 years. Funding is provided by ratepayers to the utilities' statewide energy efficiency program (Focus on Energy) in order to achieve these goals, with the funding levels increasing each year. Utilities are required to spend 1.2% of annual operating revenues to fund both energy efficiency and renewable energy programs.
Energy Efficiency Goals
Energy efficiency goals are through the Quadrennial Planning Process through the WPSC.
The most recent Quadrennial Planning Process revised the energy efficiency goals for the 2023-2026 period. A November 2022 Order issued by the WPSC set the overall 4-year goal at 185,692,431 million British thermal units (MMBtu), the kilowatt-hour goal at 31,676,270,000 , the therm goal at 776,085,000, and the electric demand goal at 293,900 kW .
