Focus on Energy® partners with Wisconsin utility companies to promote and encourage people and businesses across the state to make smart energy choices. They offer financial incentives to those who are eligible and make moves towards energy-efficiency and using renewable resources at their homes and businesses.
Their incentives and partnerships with over 100 utilities across the state have helped in supporting Wisconsinites in completing projects they may never have finished if it weren’t for the support and resources of the Focus on Energy program.
