Wisconsin: To introduce feed-in tariff bill in 2010

RenewableEnergyWorld, January 8, 2010 – "Powerful Wisconsin legislators were first out of the gate in a brewing race to be the first to pass feed-in tariff legislation in the Midwest. [...] The bill, a comprehensive revision of laws governing energy and electric utilities in Wisconsin, was referred to the Special Committee on Clean Energy Jobs.

AB 649 includes a section creating a system of feed-in tariffs for renewable energy. [...] AB 649 includes provisions for wind, solar PV, biogas, and "other" renewable technologies. Only utilities with sales greater than 2.5 TWh per year will be required to offer the feed-in tariffs. [...] The bill [...] specifies that 6 percent of all electricity generated by 2020 must be produced from in-state renewable resources, and 10 percent by 2025. 2020 Target Equivalents (3.6 TWh/year) * Wind ~1,800 MW, or * PV ~3,600 MW 2025 Target Equivalents (6 TWh/year) * Wind ~3,000 MW, or * PV ~6,000 MW."
