This year, Wisconsin’s energy efficiency and renewable energy services program, Focus on Energy, is celebrating 20 years of delivering energy- and cost-saving solutions to Badger State residents.
Since its beginnings in 2001, Focus on Energy Wisconsin has provided financial incentives, educational resources, and various programs in coordination with its statewide network of utility partners and energy experts. Today, the Program partners with 107 utilities across the state to help Wisconsin residents and businesses reduce energy waste.
“Energy efficiency is the most cost-effective way to drive down utility bills and avoid new construction of costly generation and transmission facilities,” said Rebecca Cameron Valcq, Chairperson of the Public Service Commissions of Wisconsin. “For decades, Focus on Energy has consistently demonstrated its value to our state. Our continued investment in Focus on Energy will bring immediate benefits that will pay dividends to customers and utilities for decades to come.”
Here are some of the achievements the organization detailed in a press release earlier this year:
- Focus on Energy Wisconsin has won 13 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Awards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for continued leadership in energy efficiency program implementation.
- Each year of Focus on Energy program operations will create at least 5,250 jobs through 2042.
- Between 2015 – 2018, Focus on Energy distributed nearly $250 million in incentives to Wisconsin residents and businesses who participated in its programs.
- A federal study completed in 2018 revealed Wisconsin runs the most cost-effective energy efficiency programs in the nation in terms of energy savings per dollar spent.
We hope that Focus on Energy Wisconsin continues to make a difference for the state, for local energy independence, and the future!
