Focus on Energy operates as a statewide energy efficiency initiative funded by Wisconsin's participating utilities. The commercial program offers prescriptive incentives for standard LED upgrades, custom incentives for larger and atypical projects, and specialized programs for small businesses, public sector customers, agricultural operations, and industrial facilities. Because it operates statewide, the program simplifies paperwork for customers with facilities across multiple utility service territories.
REQUEST PROGRAM REVIEWStatewide across Wisconsin, covering customers of nearly all investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities plus participating municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives. Focus on Energy is one of the most consolidated commercial efficiency programs in the country — most Wisconsin commercial customers participate through this single program regardless of their utility.
Focus on Energy operates as a subsidiary of Wisconsin Public Service Commission (statewide program).
What the program covers:
Focus on Energy operates as a statewide energy efficiency initiative funded by Wisconsin's participating utilities. The commercial program offers prescriptive incentives for standard LED upgrades, custom incentives for larger and atypical projects, and specialized programs for small businesses, public sector customers, agricultural operations, and industrial facilities. Because it operates statewide, the program simplifies paperwork for customers with facilities across multiple utility service territories.
How the application process works:
Focus on Energy typically requires pre-approval for custom-incentive projects and for prescriptive projects above program thresholds. The program uses DLC-qualified product requirements for fixture-level incentives. Applications are submitted through a centralized portal regardless of the customer's specific utility, which simplifies documentation for multi-site operators.
Echelon prepares and submits Focus on Energy applications under the customer's name through the program's centralized portal. For multi-site Wisconsin operators, this is particularly valuable — a single application process replaces multiple per-utility submissions that would otherwise be required. We coordinate with Focus on Energy's trade ally network and program implementers from pre-approval through final payment.
