3. Office of Energy Independence (OEI) History Created in April 2007 Designated the State of Wisconsin’s Energy Office Purpose/Goal Achieve 25 % renewable resources for electrical sources and liquid fuels by 2025 Capture 10% of emerging bioindustry market Continue to lead the nation in bioindustry research and development Organization Business Development, Community Development (EI Communities), Biofuels, Bioproducts, Biopower, WI Energy Stats

4. Clean Energy Wisconsin • Governor Doyle’s Plan, Launched in Spring 2008 • Promote an Affordable, Renewable, and Diverse Energy Supply • Increase percentage of renewable fuels sold as motor fuels in Wisconsin, currently 3.5% • Reduce spending on electricity, currently $5.7 billion a year • Rely less on purchasing fuel for electricity from other states. • Increase economic activity and percentage of renewable fuels used to generate electricity and, currently around 5%, generating $184 million a year for the economy. • Producing 25 percent of the state’s electricity from renewable sources in Wisconsin would generate nearly $1 billion for the Wisconsin economy.

5. Clean Energy Wisconsin • Improve Our Environment • Continue emphasizing efficiency and promoting cost-saving alternative fuels, • Citizens and businesses can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prevent water pollution, and reduce the state’s overall impact on the environment.

6. Clean Energy Wisconsin • Target Investments in Job Creation and New BusinessOpportunities • Renewable energy industry estimated to become a multi-billion dollar industry, • Wisconsin has the farms, fields, forest and factories to be a leader in this market. • Capturing 10 percent of this market would generate billions each year for our economy and create nearly 20,000 new jobs.

7. Clean Energy Wisconsin • Governor Doyle’s Plan, Launched in Spring 2008 • Area of Investment: Energy Efficiency • Energy efficient homes, transit, and businesses will dramatically lower costs and Wisconsin’s impact on the environment. • Wisconsin has several initiatives to provide resources for residents and businesses to become more energy efficient through weatherization and other cost-effective technologies.

8. Clean Energy Wisconsin • State Energy Efficiency Program - Focus on Energy • Wisconsin utilities contribute1.25 percent of their annual operating revenue for efficiency and renewable energy programs. • Generates $94 million of revenue over 18 months for investment in energy efficiency projects • In 2006, Focus on Energy helped over 12,800 Wisconsin businesses reduce their energy consumption and generate over $22.6 million in annual energy savings.

9. Clean Energy Wisconsin • Research, Development and Manufacturing: • Working to develop new low-carbon liquid fuels from biochemicals. • Improve the efficiency of ethanol and biodiesel production. • Piloting the next generation of hybrid batteries needed for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). • Improve and Implement Smart Grid Development

10. Clean Energy Wisconsin • Research, Development and Manufacturing: • Producing highly energy-efficient thermal management systems and components used in light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment, industrial equipment, refrigeration systems, fuel cells and electronics. • Manufacturing high intensity fluorescent lighting systems that drastically reduce electricity consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. • Tap into Wisconsin’s resources - Biomass to Energy
