Rewire Affordability

This Farm Rewiring Program offers more financial assistance than any previous WPS Rewiring Program and is the most supportive rewiring program that you'll find in Wisconsin.

WPS will pay 100% of the first $1,000 of costs, which should cover the cost of the inspection. Next, WPS will pay 50% of the remaining costs up to a maximum grant of $10,000 (including the initial $1,000). You may choose to finance your portion of the costs, up to $15,000, through WPS at a 3% rate of interest for five years.

Two Financing Examples

Let's use a $25,000 rewiring project as an example. WPS will pay 100% of the first $1,000, which should cover the cost of the inspection and time associated with bids. Next, the utility will pay 50% of the $24,000 balance, up to a total grant of $10,000. All in all, you are responsible for $15,000,* which you can choose to finance through WPS at 3% interest for up to five years. Here, WPS will pay the maximum $10,000.

$25,000.00 (Total cost of rewiring project)
– 1,000.00 (WPS pays 100% of the first $1,000)
$24,000.00  
– 9,000.00 (WPS pays 50% of balance up to a maximum $10,000 grant)
$15,000.00 (Amount you pay. May be financed through WPS at 3% for up to five years)

A second example involves a $6,000 project. WPS will pay 100% of the first $1,000 and split the $5,000 balance with you 50/50. You are responsible for $2,500, which you can finance at 3% interest for up to five years. Here, WPS will pay a total of $3,500.

$6,000.00 (Total cost of rewiring project)
– 1,000.00 (WPS pays 100% of the first $1,000)
$5,000.00  
– 2,500.00 (WPS pays 50% of balance up to a maximum $10,000 grant)
$2,500.00 (Amount you pay. May be financed through WPS at 3% for up to five years)

* You can finance a maximum of $15,000 through WPS.
