Permitting at a Glance

Public Utility Certificate: Currently, the RAPID Toolkit does not have state specific content regarding facility licensing or certification for hydropower development in Wisconsin.
Small Hydropower Program: Wisconsin does not currently have a small hydropower program.
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS): Investor owned utilities, municipal utilities, and electric cooperatives must meet specified requirements to obtain the statewide renewable energy mandate of 10% renewable electricity by 2015. After 2015, Wisconsin required electric providers to maintain a 6% increase in renewable electricity based on a (2001-2003) baseline. 196 Wis. Stat. §196.378.
RPS Eligible Hydropower: Hydroelectric generation projects less than 60 MW receive credit for the sum of:
  • all hydropower purchased in a reporting year;
  • the average of the hydropower produced by the utility adjusted to reflect capacity increases from improvements or removal from service;
  • the amount of hydropower generated in the reporting year by facilities owned by the electric provider placed in service in 2004.
Hydroelectric generation projects greater than 60 MW can be counted toward an RPS requirement if the facility was placed in service on or after December 31, 2010.
