The Wisconsin Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy (OSCE) was founded in 2019 by Executive Order 38. The OSCE focuses on implementing and promoting renewable energy projects in Wisconsin as well as allocating federal and state funds dedicated to solving various environmental issues. In this episode, Kylie Schedler and Thomas Hadcock are joined by Technical Coordinator and Analyst Caity Carmody, and Outreach and Engagement Specialist Katelynn Samuelson. We discuss the applicability of the Inflation Reduction Act in Wisconsin, their State Lead by Example program and Clean Energy Plan, the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, Focus on Energy, and their outlook for the future of renewable energy in Wisconsin.
