威斯康星州宣布1,150万美元清洁能源创新拨款：36个项目获资助，覆盖学校、非营利组织与地方政府
威斯康星州州长 Tony Evers 与州公共服务委员会（Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, PSC）10月20日在位于该州 Dane County 的州府 Madison 宣布，全州36个项目将获得总额1,150万美元的能源创新拨款项目（Energy Innovation Grant Program, EIGP）资助。受资助方包括学区、非营利组织、地方与部落政府、制造商和高等教育机构，资金将用于降低能源使用、扩大清洁能源技术部署、增强应急准备与韧性，并推进全州综合能源规划。
Evers在声明中说，威斯康星不必在应对气候变化、保护环境与创造高薪就业、发展强劲经济之间二选一，两者必须兼得；这批拨款让学校、非营利组织、市政机构等获得改善自身清洁能源足迹的资金。PSC主席 Summer Strand 表示，EIGP面向学校、制造商、地方与部落政府等多种主体，本轮申请需求再次远超可拨付金额，她呼吁下届州议会授权追加资金，让这项工作延续下去。
据州长办公室公布的数据，EIGP前五轮每一轮的申请金额都超过可拨付额，累计收到622份申请、申请总额近2亿美元；本轮（第六轮）PSC收到89份申请，申请总额近3,500万美元。Evers在2025-27两年期预算中曾提议投入2,000万美元延续该项目，但该条款最终被共和党主导的州预算委员会删除。PSC预计，若没有新增拨款授权，第六轮很可能成为该项目的最后一轮。
EIGP由PSC下属的能源创新办公室（Office of Energy Innovation, OEI）管理，资助三类项目：可再生能源与储能部署项目、能效与需求响应项目、综合能源规划项目。据PSC统计，自2017年项目设立以来，该委员会已累计向全州205个EIGP项目拨款5,150万美元（包括本轮）。本轮受资助项目完整名单刊于PSC的EIGP项目页面。
Wisconsin Awards $11.5 Million in Clean Energy Innovation Grants: 36 Projects Funded Across the State
Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin, together with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC), announced in Madison, the state capital in Dane County, on October 20 that 36 projects across the state will receive a combined $11.5 million from the Energy Innovation Grant Program (EIGP). The recipients include school districts, nonprofit organizations, local and Tribal governments, manufacturers and higher education institutions, and the funding will be used to reduce energy usage, expand the deployment of clean energy technologies, bolster preparedness and resilience, and advance comprehensive energy planning statewide.
In the statement, Gov. Evers said Wisconsin must embrace a future where it does not have to choose between mitigating climate change and protecting the environment or creating good-paying jobs and having a strong economy, adding that it must do both, and that the grants ensure schools, nonprofits, municipalities and others get the funding they need to improve their clean energy footprint. PSC Chairperson Summer Strand said the EIGP is available to a variety of entities including schools, manufacturers, and local and Tribal governments, that demand again greatly exceeded the funding available, and she encouraged the next state legislature to authorize additional EIGP funding so the work can continue.
According to the governor's office, funding requests exceeded the amount available in each of the prior five EIGP rounds, with 622 applications requesting nearly $200 million in total. In this sixth round, the PSC received 89 applications requesting nearly $35 million. In his 2025-27 biennial budget, Gov. Evers proposed investing $20 million to continue the EIGP, but the provision was ultimately removed by the Republican-controlled state budget committee. The PSC anticipates this sixth round is likely the last unless additional funding is authorized.
The EIGP is administered by the PSC's Office of Energy Innovation (OEI) and covers three project types: projects that increase the deployment of renewable energy and energy storage; projects that support energy efficiency and demand response; and projects that facilitate comprehensive energy planning. Since the program's inception in 2017, the PSC has awarded $51.5 million to 205 EIGP projects statewide, including this round. The full list of this round's awardees is published on the PSC's EIGP program page.
