Office of Energy Independence
Achieving 25 x 25
In July 2006, Governor Jim Doyle made an historic announcement, the “Declaration of Energy Independence” which charts a new course for clean energy in Wisconsin. A few months later, in April of 2007, Governor Doyle issued Executive Order 192 creating the Office of Energy Independence (OEI) to lead the state’s effort to advance clean energy and bioproducts. This was the beginning of an effort to become the nation’s leader in the drive toward energy independence, moving us away from our addiction on foreign oil.
The OEI is committed to supporting Wisconsin's goal of generating 25% of its electric power and transportation fuels from renewable resources by 2025, capturing 10% of the emerging bioindustry and renewable energy market by 2030, and leading the nation in groundbreaking research that will make clean energy more affordable and will create good paying Wisconsin jobs.

 2007 Wisconsin Energy Statistics
In 2006, Wisconsin spent almost $19.5 billion on energy - a new record. To reduce our dependence on imported energy, Governor Doyle committed the state to the goal of 25x25 to develop Wisconsin's energy resources. The Wisconsin Office of Energy Independence is working to make the 25x25 goals a reality, and the Wisconsin Energy Statistics will document our progress. More Information.
