State of Wisconsin’s Opportunities: Clean Energy Wisconsin & Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing Maria Redmond Grants Manager/Biofuels Sector Specialist Office of Energy Independence

Overview Office of Energy Independence (OEI) Clean Energy Wisconsin American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 2009 Project Financing Opportunities

Office of Energy Independence (OEI) History Created in April 2007 Designated the State of Wisconsin’s Energy Office Purpose/Goal Achieve 25 % renewable resources for electrical sources and liquid fuels by 2025 Capture 10% of emerging bioindustry market Continue to lead the nation in bioindustry research and development Organization Business Development, Community Development (EI Communities), Biofuels, Bioproducts, Biopower, WI Energy Stats

Clean Energy Wisconsin Governor Doyle’s Plan, Launched in Spring 2008 Promote an Affordable, Renewable, and Diverse Energy Supply Increase percentage of renewable fuels sold as motor fuels in Wisconsin, currently 3.5% Reduce spending on electricity, currently $5.7 billion a year Rely less on purchasing fuel for electricity from other states. Increase economic activity and percentage of renewable fuels used to generate electricity and, currently around 5%, generating $184 million a year for the economy. Producing 25 percent of the state’s electricity from renewable sources in Wisconsin would generate nearly $1 billion for the Wisconsin economy.

Clean Energy Wisconsin Improve Our Environment Continue emphasizing efficiency and promoting cost-saving alternative fuels, Citizens and businesses can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prevent water pollution, and reduce the state’s overall impact on the environment.

Clean Energy Wisconsin Target Investments in Job Creation and New Business Opportunities Renewable energy industry estimated to become a multi- billion dollar industry, Wisconsin has the farms, fields, forest and factories to be a leader in this market. Capturing 10 percent of this market would generate billions each year for our economy and create nearly 20,000 new jobs.

Clean Energy Wisconsin Governor Doyle’s Plan, Launched in Spring 2008 Area of Investment: Energy Efficiency Energy efficient homes, transit, and businesses will dramatically lower costs and Wisconsin’s impact on the environment. Wisconsin has several initiatives to provide resources for residents and businesses to become more energy efficient through weatherization and other cost-effective technologies.

Clean Energy Wisconsin State Energy Efficiency Program - Focus on Energy Wisconsin utilities contribute1.25 percent of their annual operating revenue for efficiency and renewable energy programs. Generates $94 million of revenue over 18 months for investment in energy efficiency projects In 2006, Focus on Energy helped over 12,800 Wisconsin businesses reduce their energy consumption and generate over $22.6 million in annual energy savings.

Clean Energy Wisconsin Research, Development and Manufacturing: Working to develop new low-carbon liquid fuels from biochemicals. Improve the efficiency of ethanol and biodiesel production. Piloting the next generation of hybrid batteries needed for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). Improve and Implement Smart Grid Development

Clean Energy Wisconsin Research, Development and Manufacturing: Producing highly energy-efficient thermal management systems and components used in light, medium and heavy- duty vehicles, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment, industrial equipment, refrigeration systems, fuel cells and electronics. Manufacturing high intensity fluorescent lighting systems that drastically reduce electricity consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Tap into Wisconsin’s resources - Biomass to Energy
