Alliant Energy to build 414 MW of solar projects in Wisconsin

Construction is poised to move forward on six solar projects totaling 414 MW after Wisconsin regulators gave final approval to Alliant Energy’s second phase of solar development plans. The projects are among 12 utility-scale solar sites Alliant Energy is developing as part of its Clean Energy Blueprint that will add nearly 1,100 MW of solar energy generation to the state’s energy grid.

The company expects to begin construction this summer and finish in late 2023.

Alliant Energy aspires to eliminate coal from its generation fleet by 2040 and achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from the electricity it generates by 2050.
