Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin (UW)
System and the Department of Administration are required to negotiate an
agreement with the public utility, or its affiliate, that provides electric service to the
UW-Madison campus. The agreement must require the public utility or its affiliate
to construct a centralized cogeneration facility at the campus for the purpose of
providing electric, steam, and chilled water services. The cogeneration facility must
have a nominal output of 150 megawatts.
This bill eliminates all of the requirements described above.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
