Solar & Battery Regulation & Incentive Programs
The goal of this program is to improve the competitiveness of small and medium sized manufacturers in Milwaukee by promoting the implementation of cost-effective sustainable manufacturing practices and technologies that collectively reduce community-wide negative environmental impacts.
The Milwaukee Economy, Energy & Environment program (ME3) is a low-cost program to help manufacturers cut operating expenses while at the same time helping to minimize negative environmental impacts of their manufacturing processes and practices.
ME3 will cover the cost of a manufacturing process diagnostic offered by Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Partnership (WMEP) (a $3,600 value) and will provide 50% or up to $5,000 on the cost of a follow-up assessment to identify a process/project improvement (typically valued between $10,000-$12,000). Additionally, ME3 will have grants available for a process or practice improvement implementation (20% of the total value of the implementation project with a cap of $10,000).
