Dear John, there was a victory for solar in Wisconsin today!
Please forward this email
RENEW Wisconsin released the below announcement today. This agreement follows:
- Negotiations between RENEW Wisconsin and We Energies
- Weekly protests at We Energies (WEC) headquarters organized by 350 Milwaukee
- A letter to Kevin Fletcher - CEO and President, WEC - delivered by Julie Enslow during the June 21 protest
- A Sierra Club petition with 1,000+ signatures (thank you for signing) to We Energies delivered during our July 12 protest
- And many other actions
We Energies and RENEW Wisconsin reach settlement on solar energy issue
We Energies and RENEW Wisconsin are pleased to announce a settlement agreement with two important provisions regarding solar energy and customer-owned generation.
With the agreement, We Energies will no longer pursue a solar fixed-cost recovery charge as part of its rate review with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, and RENEW Wisconsin agrees to support an upcoming We Energies utility-scale solar project.
The two parties also agree to collaborate in a series of good-faith discussions for at least the next two years with the goal of finding potential areas of agreement on renewable energy and distributed generation as We Energies continues the transition to a clean energy future.

SAVE THE DATE!
350 Milwaukee is planning an action for September 20th
If you’ve been inspired by the school strikers, but you’re not sure how you can take action as an ally, read on for 3 meaningful ways you can show your support:
- Join the Global Climate Strikes
School strikers are calling on everyone: young people, parents, workers, and all concerned citizens to join massive climate strikes and a week of actions starting on September 20.
- Spread the word
It’s as simple as it sounds. Talk to everyone you know – young or grown-up – about the climate strikes, about what they’ve achieved already; and our role in supporting young people. Share with them your own reasons for wanting to see urgent climate action. Tell them about Greta’s message of climate emergency, or, even better, show them one of her powerful speeches.
- Organize your community
Activate your own network (yes, you have one!) in support of the climate strikes. Think of the organizations, clubs or faith groups you belong to. Maybe you’re in a parents group, or a book club? Talk about the climate strikes at your next meeting; take to social media and share a public statement of support. Organize others for solidarity actions and events.
Future Local Actions being explored:
- "Putting Climate Front and Center in the 2020 Election” - organize to show up at candidate events with questions and signs
- Local actions targeting banks that support the fossil fuel industry
Do any of these interest you?
Let us know if you have ideas and/or want to get involved!
Contact Julie Enslow or Greg Walter at the meeting, or email: 350 Milwaukee
