On January 15, 2009, the Commission opened docket 5-EI-147 to assess Wisconsin’s potential for the development of utility investments in solar energy resources to cost-effectively contribute to Wisconsin’s electric supply.  PSC Commissioner Eric Callisto is overseeing this investigation, and a study group has been formed in support of this effort.  Solar Collaborative Work Group (Solar Collaborative) members represent electric and transmission providers, environmental organizations, customer and labor groups, and solar experts. 

The Solar Collaborative is conducting a technical and economic assessment, and plans to make a draft report on this assessment available for public comment.  Meetings of the Solar Collaborative are open to the public, and meeting notices will be filed in docket 5-EI-147.
