Bill Description
Under Wisconsin law, investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities are required to help fund Focus on Energy, a popular program that helps Wisconsinites improve energy efficiency in their homes and businesses, and access renewable energy. AB 868 & SB 870 direct the Public Service Commission to require participating investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities to increase their annual contribution to the Focus on Energy program. This will ensure that we can expand the program, and deliver energy efficiency and renewable resource tools to more households across Wisconsin.
