Wisconsin meeting RE portfolio standards, says report

By Paul Dvorak | July 12, 2011

The Wisconsin Public Service Commission says in its 25-page report that all 118 Wisconsin electric providers met renewable energy portfolio standards for 2010. The commission said the utilities are making progress toward the requirement that 10% of electricity come from renewable sources by 2015, and five have met that standard.

The statewide perspective is the sum of all Wisconsin electric provider RPS renewable sales, excluding green pricing sales. Statute requirement is the sum of all Wisconsin electric provider’s renewable-sales requirements, based on individual percentage requirements multiplied by the respective previous three-year average of total retail sales. The requirement projection assumes 1.0% statewide annual retail sales growth rate from 2011 to 2015; this growth rate assumption is also used for individual provider requirements. The slight decrease in renewable sales requirements from 2010 through 2012 reflects a load loss that is likely due to the recession.

 

Last year, 7.37% of electricity sold by state utilities and cooperatives was from renewable sources. It was 6.29% in 2009. When voluntary green-pricing programs are included, 7.92% was program compliant. Among projects noted by the commission was the Crane Creek Wind Farm (99 MW) in Iowa, owned by Green Bay-based Wisconsin Public Service Corp.
