Focus on Energy has the potential to build from the current energy efficiency landscape in Wisconsin to expand demand mitigation in the future as the need for load shaping and controllable technologies and interventions increases. Past case studies were reviewed to explore which behavioral and technology-based solutions supplement existing program offerings and provide the greatest opportunity for Wisconsin.

Project Timeline: July 2020- February 2021
Research Objectives:
The objective of this project was to provide a broad view into where and how load shaping opportunities intersect and can build upon current and emerging energy efficiency opportunities in Wisconsin. A staged approach was used to enable this view, conducting deeper research on a narrower list of measures at consecutive stages.
Key Findings
In Wisconsin, Focus on Energy has the potential to build on their current energy efficiency program offerings to increase demand impacts. These demand impacts could help utility partners and reduce demand charges for Wisconsin ratepayers. Through a review of industry literature and program documentation, this project researched the load shaping market to explore potential opportunities to supplement Focus’s existing program offerings and provide the greatest opportunity for Wisconsin.
