PROGRAM HISTORY, FUNDING, & STRUCTURE
PROGRAM HISTORY Originally formed by the Wisconsin Legislature as part of 1999’s Act 9 and funded by the Utility Public Benefits Fund (PBF), Focus on Energy delivers energy efficiency and renewable energy services for residential, business, and renewable customers throughout the state. In 2001, the Department of Administration rolled out the Focus on Energy Program statewide. In partnership with consumers, utilities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and governmental agencies, the Program helps residents and businesses make smart energy choices. Per the legislation, Focus on Energy aims to: • Reduce the amount of energy used per unit of production in Wisconsin while improving energy reliability. • Enhance economic development and make Wisconsin firms more competitive. • Reduce the environmental impacts of energy use. • Expand the ability of markets to deliver energy-efficient and renewable energy goods and services to consumers and businesses. • Deliver quantified financial returns on public investments in energy improvements. The original legislation required utilities to fund energy efficiency programs and renewable energy programs through (1) a public benefits fee that utilities collect directly from customers and (2) mandatory utility “contributions,” which utilities recover from customers in rates. The amount of the charge was based on levels of utility expenditures for energy programs prior to the enactment of Act 9. In addition, the state’s five major investor-owned utilities administered and funded several related programs required by the WPSC, which included energy efficiency projects, renewable energy projects, load management, and related measures. Focus on Energy was restructured in March 2006 by 2005 Act 141. This law, most of which took effect July 1, 2007, replaced existing renewable energy and energy efficiency PBF programs with programs that utilities create and fund through contracts with private program administrators, with oversight and approval by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (WPSC). Since Act 141 requires utilities to pay directly for programs, the state is unable to transfer or otherwise use these funds for general obligations. (From 2002 to 2006, the governor and legislature transferred or reallocated more than $108 million from the PBF to the state’s general fund or for other uses.)
20
PROGRAM FUNDING Each electric and natural gas investor-owned utility is required to spend 1.2% of the latest three-year average of its gross operating revenue on energy efficiency offerings and renewable resource offerings. With WPSC approval, a utility may retain a certain portion of the revenue it is required to spend on statewide offerings to administer or fund a new energy efficiency offering for the utility’s large commercial, industrial, institutional, or agricultural customers. The state’s municipal utilities and electric cooperatives have the option of participating in the state Program or operating their own “commitment-to-community” programs, which are similar to Focus on Energy. There is a cap on fees for these programs of the lesser of $375 per month or 1.2% of the total other monthly charges. The WPSC does not oversee “commitment-to-community” programs, but cooperatives and municipal utilities are required to submit annual program audit reports to the WPSC. PROGRAM STRUCTURE There are a number of parties involved in the establishment, funding, oversight, and management of the Focus on Energy Program. SEERA (Statewide Energy Efficiency and Renewables Administration) creates and funds Focus on Energy and contracts with the Program Administrator, the Systems Administrator and the Fiscal Agent. The PSC (Public Service Commission of Wisconsin) contracts with the Evaluator and the Compliance Agent and is responsible for setting policy and providing guidance to the Focus on Energy Administrator.

PROGRAM/PORTFOLIO FUNDING ALLOCATION Program Allocation
2%
5%
Expenditure categories were revised in 2016 to provide clarity and more accurately reflect Program costs. The four categories include Administrative, Technical and Customer Support, Incentives, and Evaluation & Research. The definitions are as follows: • Administration costs are not directly associated with a specific offering
31%
62%
activity but which are necessary to the development and administration of programs, including record keeping, payroll, accounting, auditing, billing, business management, budgeting and related activities, overhead allocation, and other costs necessary to direct the organization of the Program. This does not include Program evaluation.
Incentives
Technical & Customer Support
Administration
Evaluation & Research
Portfolio Allocation The Focus on Energy Program currently allocates approximately 60% of its budget to solutions for business customer classes and approximately 40% to solutions for residential customers. This funding allocation is consistent with the historical proportion of funding collected from each type of customer and the breakdown of future energy savings opportunities identified in a 2017 potential study. • Technical and Customer Support costs are those associated with project identification, engineering calculation and modeling, inspection of installed projects, Trade Ally contractor outreach, technical training, and customer service. • Incentive costs are cash incentives payable to Customers and Trade Allies and instant discounts received at point-of-purchase at participating retail locations. • Evaluation & Research costs are those associated with independently verifying offering energy savings and supporting continuous offering improvement through the analysis of markets, technologies, and offering operations.
