“Have you ever heard of Right of First Refusal Laws (ROFR)? Chances are, you are living in a state with this type of law and it’s costing you quite a bit on your electricity bills. However, if you live in Wisconsin, you haven’t had to deal with these laws – yet. Wisconsin lawmakers are once again trying to push through Right of First Refusal (ROFR) legislation, a move that would hand out sweetheart deals to utility companies while sticking consumers with higher energy bills. Senate Bill 28 (SB 28) and its Assembly counterpart, AB 25, would give in-state companies exclusive bidding rights on electric grid projects before out-of-state firms can even throw their hats in the ring. While proponents claim this measure protects Wisconsin businesses, opponents argue it’s nothing more than a giveaway to utility lobbyists at the expense of ordinary ratepayers.” (03/17/25)
