Gov. Tony Evers announced in a press release today that the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) awarded $7.8 million from the Energy Innovation Grant Program (EIGP) to 28 projects that will expand access to clean energy and invest in the adoption of innovative technologies and processes. Since the program’s inception in 2017, the PSC has awarded $40 million to 169 EIGP projects statewide.
This round of EIGP funding was provided by President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The EIGP encompasses three distinct project types: projects that increase the deployment of renewable energy and energy storage; projects that support energy efficiency and demand response; and projects that facilitate comprehensive energy planning.
A list and map of the EIGP award recipients is available here.
These investments will enable the Evers administration to continue building upon efforts to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy as outlined in Wisconsin’s Clean Energy Plan.
