This research project will deliver a transitional roadmap, with the goal of supporting Focus on Energy’s statutory obligations and objectives established during the Quadrennial IV period and informing the Quadrennial V (2027-2030) planning process.

The roadmap will provide tactical implementation strategies to address emerging priorities in the state of Wisconsin in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy program design. Research outcomes will inform how Focus on Energy can continue to maximize efforts toward reducing energy waste, costs, and environmental impacts throughout the state.
