The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is accepting applications for the 2026 Energy Innovation Grant Program.
There is $10 million available to fund innovative projects that reduce energy usage, increase clean energy technologies or incorporate comprehensive energy planning.
“The Energy Innovation Grant Program empowers Wisconsin businesses, schools, local and tribal governments, nonprofits and others to undertake creative, forward-thinking projects that strengthen reliability and sustainability across the state,” PSC Chairperson Summer Strand said in a statement. “From bolstering energy storage and comprehensive energy planning, to expanding renewable energy and demand response programs, EIGP provides critical funding opportunities, and I’m excited the sixth grant round of this important program is now open.”
The EIGP is a competitive grant program administered by the PSC. In each of the previous five EIGP grant rounds, funding requests have exceeded the amount of funding available. Since 2018, the commission has awarded $40 million to 169 projects despite receiving 533 applications requesting $165 million.
