MORE WISCONSIN UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR PROJECTS WENT ONLINE IN 2021 THAN IN ANY OTHER YEAR

Wisconsin utilities installed and placed into service more solar power in 2021 than any other year as utility-scale solar projects are increasing. The growth of renewable electricity is expected to accelerate as part of efforts to meet carbon reduction goals to stave off the worst effects of climate change. 

Around 300 megawatts of utility-scale solar came online in Wisconsin this year, including 150 megawatts of solar as part of the first phase of the Badger Hollow Solar farm in Iowa County. The project is jointly owned by Wisconsin Public Service and Madison Gas and Electric.

WPPI Energy is buying power generated by the 100-megawatt Point Beach Solar project that began operating this fall, and Madison Gas and Electric is now providing energy through its 20-megawatt solar farm in Fitchburg.
