Update on renewable initiatives in Wisconsin, Polk Co. Energy Fair, Aug. 18

Don Wichert, executive director of RENEW Wisconsin, will update RENEW members and other fairgoers at 1:00 pm, August 18 at the Polk County Energy Fair.

The initiatives will benefit any person or business wanting to install a renewable energy system, as well as those already installed.

Don will discuss RENEW's work to:

• Build a coalition in support of our Clean Energy Choice initiative, which would allow customers to purchase renewable energy from systems located on their premises and owned by third parties;
• Represent renewable energy stakeholders at the PSC and with the Focus on Energy administrators to offer proactive options for the renewable energy program;
• Improve utilities' outdated interconnection requirements.

RENEW is also actively engaged in other initiatives to expand the clean renewable energy marketplace in Wisconsin.

Thanks to Jeff Peterson for assisting RENEW and co-sponsoring the presentation.
