Occupation and highest education level: Did not respond.
Relevant experience: Five-term village trustee.
Robert Gajewski (i)
Address: 177 Oak Brook Drive, Pulaski
Occupation and highest education level: Currently retired. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Relevant experience: I have been a member of the Pulaski Village Board for approximately 8 years. Prior to that, I spent about 30 years in the private sector. During my time as trustee I supported successful efforts to establish a hotel so that people who visit residents have a place to stay in Pulaski. Senior housing and apartments were developed so that people who could no longer keep up a house can still have an in-town residence.
The Petition was filed in Portage County Circuit Court. See Case Code: 30701.
MREA alleges that certain guidance documents issued by PSCW are beyond the limits of its statutory authority. The organization further argues that the guidance documents will impede solar and other clean energy development.
MREA first asserts in the Petition that the guidance documents have incorrectly asserted:
. . . broad jurisdiction over privately owned solar panels located on customers’ roofs and connected behind the utility meter to provide a partial alternative to buying electricity from the utility. Those guidance documents incorrectly assert that private solar generation financed through a mechanism called “third-party financing” constitutes a “public utility” subject to regulation (and effective prohibition).

A renewable energy group is suing state regulators about policies they argue stifle Wisconsin’s clean energy economy and interfere with residents’ and businesses’ ability to access alternative energy.
The Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) filed a complaint Thursday in Portage County Circuit Court against the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC). The group argues regulators are going beyond their authority by preventing third-party financing when a third party pays the upfront cost of a solar installation, allowing the customer to lease solar power and pay it off over time.

The Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin Circuit Court to remove barriers preventing Wisconsinites from accessing the benefits of local clean energy development. MREA’s filing asks the court to ensure that the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) sticks to regulating monopoly utility companies and does not illegally interfere with competitive clean energy alternatives for Wisconsin families and businesses.
