Support On-Bill Financing across Wisconsin

Residential carbon emissions account for 30% of all greenhouse gases. Green home upgrades (like solar panels, new insulation and air sealing) help to reduce carbon emissions, save money on utility bills and create family supporting jobs in the green energy sector. However, thousands of homeowners in Wisconsin are unable to upgrade their home because of up front cost, credit history or due to the fact they are a renter.

We can address this problem and upgrade homes by supporting On-Bill Financing that will allows utility customers to upgrade with energy saving green upgrades at no upfront cost. The utility pays for the upgrades initially and the homeowner pays them back as a line item on their utility bill. Customers see a net saving right away on their utility bills. This clears the way for so many people to add solar panels to their home. It reduces carbon emissions and creates jobs in the green sector, which is America's fastest growing job sector, and On-Bill Financing can also create new public revenue streams through financing charges.

Public utilities across the state could offer On-Bill Financing and Wisconsin could easily create hundreds of family supporting jobs and install thousands of solar panels.

Use this form to contact elected leaders across the state and let them know you support On-Bill Financing programs.
