Commitment to Community Programs promote energy conservation and help qualifying households afford the energy they need. Collection of this type of fee is required of all Wisconsin electric utilities by the State.

This program was formerly referred to as the "Public Benefits Program."

The State has given us permission to administer our own local programs with the revenues collected -- such as our annual Energy Fair, conservation education in our schools, conservation incentives for local business, appliance turn-in programs, and so on. In addition to our local programs, we have expanded our participation in Focus on Energy's statewide program beginning January 2008. This expansion offers our customers "the best of both worlds" -- local programs and access to statewide programs.
