Renewable Energy Grant Projects<br />

The intent of this Focus on Energy grant is to provide cost-sharing assistance on a<br />

competitive basis for applied renewable energy technology research and development<br />

projects that will improve market conditions for renewable energy systems and services.<br />

All supported R&D projects are required to meet one or more of the following objectives:<br />

• Create innovative renewable energy products and services<br />

• Enhance renewable energy product reliability<br />

• Reduce the costs of renewable energy products and services<br />

• Accurately assess Wisconsin's renewable energy resources<br />

• Provide renewable energy distributed benefits<br />

Support for R&D projects is primarily directed toward assisting high-value, near-term<br />

(five years or less) commercialization of renewable energy applications in Wisconsin.<br />

Awards have been made to several fuel cell Research and Development projects as well<br />

as an Educational Scholarship award for a college-level fuel cell project.<br />
