Energy Education and Programming
Check out samples of educational webinars our team curated for the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin (CUB.) In 2022, we coordinated two different types of educational webinars for the members of CUB. Type one was for residential utility customers and it focused on the massive energy transition taking place and opportunities for homeowners and renters to get involved and to save on their energy bills along the way. The second set of webinars were created for Wisconsin small businesses, in order to help educate and provide them with real world examples of actions other businesses have taken to save energy and reduce their energy burden.
Residential Webinar Series
(Webinar 1) Setting the Stage for an Affordable Clean Energy Transition
The topic of the first session: Setting the Stage for Wisconsin’s Affordable Clean Energy Transition. Moderator Heather Goetsch from the CUB Board of Directors kicked off the session, which featured presentations from Nick Hylla, executive director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association; Scott Coenen, executive director of the Wisconsin Conservative Energy Forum; and Corey Singletary, director of regulatory affairs at CUB.
(Webinar 2) What to Know About Where Energy Costs are Headed… and What to Do
CUB’s Tom Content will moderate a discussion featuring Francisco Sayu, director of emerging technologies at Renew Wisconsin; Kaila Wilson, program director at the Vernon County Energy District; and Saidirick Walker, program manager at Green Homeowners United in Milwaukee County.
(Webinar 3) Action Steps You Can Take to Use Less Energy at Home
Join the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin for a virtual discussion unpacking actions you can take to use less energy at home. The session will provide an overview of the current rate cases that CUB is working on, and we will talk about how Wisconsin citizens can get involved. Speakers will also touch on no-cost or low-cost resources available from Focus on Energy that both homeowners and renters are able to access to help them on their energy-saving journey. The session will also showcase a Latino community project which helped to empower women to take action within their homes to address climate change. This program occurred in Madison last summer as a partnership between Sustain Dane, and the Latino Academy which was managed by Wisconsin EcoLatinos. Our panelists will provide real-world examples of actions, and projects that can be taken by Wisconsin residents to reduce their energy burden.
