3. Focus on Energy
Overview

4. What is Focus on Energy?
A partnership of all of Wisconsin’s investor owned utilities (WPS, Xcel Energy, Alliant Energy, We Energies, etc.), as well as most of the state’s electric cooperatives and municipal utilities
Utilities participate for electrical savings, natural gas savings, or both
A single statewide energy efficiency and renewable energy program, rather than separate programs in each utility territory

5. History of Focus on Energy
Energy Efficiency in Wisconsin
Utility provision of energy efficiency services in 1980’s and 1990’s
Wisconsin Act 9 (1999) created statewide public benefits program
Programs rolled out in July (2001)
Wisconsin Act 141 (2005)
Energy Efficiency in Wisconsin:
Utility provision of energy efficiency services in 1980’s and 1990’s
Successes and Challenges:
Solid savings and model programs in some areas
Confusion for market providers and customers
Discussions of restructuring meant that energy efficiency might fall by the wayside
Stakeholders agreed a better strategy was necessary
Wisconsin Act 9 (1999) created statewide public benefits program
Administered by DOA - Energy Division
Third party program administrators
Established funding level
Programs rolled out in July 2001:
Business
Residential
Renewables (Spring 2002)
In 2005 Focus on Energy needed changes:
Budget susceptible to funding diversions
Lack of integration with Public Service Commission (PSC)
Focus on Energy results not part of planning for state’s future energy needs
Recognition that Wisconsin needed a more aggressive approach to energy efficiency
Wisconsin Act 141 (2005):
Overall administration moves to the PSC, which is also required to approve contract and Program Administrator selection
Utilities created SEERA (Statewide Energy Efficiency & Renewables Administration) to contract with Focus administrator
Funding is set at 1.2% of IOU revenues and $8/meter for municipal electric utilities and cooperative electric utilities
Utilities deposit funds in a private sector account protected from diversions
Eligibility states that WI customers are eligible for certain measures if the measures save a fuel type purchased from a participating utility
Municipal Electric Utilities and Cooperative Electric Utilities have the option to join Focus on Energy or run individual programs, but are now required to report on achievements
Options for utilities and large customers to operate programs began in 2009
PSC cannot require utilities to do additional energy efficiency

6. What does Focus on Energy do?
Assists Wisconsin residents and businesses in identifying and implementing energy efficiency projects
Offers unbiased information and technical assistance to participating utilities’ electric and/or natural gas customers
Provides financial incentives for energy saving projects that would not otherwise occur

43. Focus on Equipment
Upgrades

44. Maximize the Focus on the Energy Program
Start talking with your Energy Advisor while in the planning phase of your project
Invite your Energy Advisor to upcoming project planning meetings
Include Focus on Energy language in your RFP to ensure your trade ally contractors use qualifying energy efficient equipment
Planning equipment upgrades? Enhance the efficiency of your building and save money on your utility bills for years to come. Focus on Energy can help build your facility’s energy efficiency strategy.
Start talking with your Energy Advisor while in the planning phase of your project to incorporate energy efficiency and allow plenty of time for preapproval. Take advantage of their third party, technical expertise in order to maximize your energy savings and the return on your investment.
Work with your Energy Advisor to ensure you pick qualifying equipment that allows for the most energy savings for your facility.
Custom incentives are eligible for projects that have savings above and beyond a prescriptive one-for-one equipment replacement. They are based on estimated first year energy savings associated with a project/ technology. Work with your Energy Advisor to receive pre-approval prior to installation.
For example: You are replacing your boiler and controls. There is a prescriptive incentive for the boiler, however modulating the hot water temperature for the controls is a custom incentive. This proactive control strategy will allow you to realize greater savings and a larger incentive by processing the application as a custom project. Your Energy Advisor will help determine which
projects are custom or prescriptive.
Invite your Energy Advisor to upcoming project planning meetings.
Include Focus on Energy language in your RFP to ensure your trade ally contractors know you expect them to use qualifying energy efficient equipment. Use the sample language provided on the left or contact your Energy Advisor on appropriate language to include in bid documents.
