1. Statement of Proposed Plan and WPL’s Interest Pursuant to Section 196.02(1), Stats., and any other legal authority deemed appropriate by the Commission, Wisconsin Power and Light Company respectfully requests the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to approve its demonstration program for Biogas Renewable Energy Distributed Generation. This program is designed to accelerate the market acceptability of electric generation using biogas as fuel. This biogas is produced by anaerobic digesters for manure on farms, landfills, waste water treatment plants, and some industries. This proposal includes a tariff valuing biogas produced electricity at 6 cents per kWh two options for implementing projects (WPL owned generation and customer owned generation using a performance contract), and the accounting treatment to support the program. 1.1. Introduction The current national energy policy debate has been influenced by recent energy supply constraints in various regions of the United States. Demand side reductions often are set in opposition to supply side additions, as if the two strategies were mutually exclusive options. Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL) supports a more balanced approach to meeting future energy needs. WPL believes that the optimal strategy is one that addresses both increasing energy efficiency opportunities for its customers and the development of energy supply resources - both renewable and advanced traditional supply opportunities. The use of distributed energy resources is one of the strategies that WPL believes can improve supply in an environmentally advantageous manner. As applied in this proposal, distributed energy resources refer to modular distributed energy generation, storage, or geographically targeted demand side management. WPL has a long history of innovative demand-side management programs, starting with its time-of-day rates in the 1970s. WPL has also initiated various new programs to help boost the supply of energy, such as its participation in the Montfort wind turbine program. This proposal is a continuation of WPL's ongoing efforts to set the pace in energy supply innovation. Specifically, WPL proposes to implement a Biogas Renewable Energy Distributed Generation (BREDG) program. Biogas Renewable Energy Distributed Generation Program BREDG is a demonstration project designed to encourage the development of a sustainable fuel supply "stored" in agricultural waste streams. It is derived from the production of biogas from agricultural/food processing wastes and organic municipal landfill wastes. Both agricultural waste (including food processing) and landfills generate significant quantities of methane. Methane gas has a high heat value and is a significant component of natural gas. Landfills (through natural, unaided anaerobic digestion) and agricultural waste (through enhanced waste management) can provide a significant and sustainable source of energy.
