Officials from the city of Milwaukee and We Energies on Tuesday unveiled the largest solar project in the city’s history on a former landfill located near Mitchell International Airport.
The 2.25-megawatt installation of more than 7,000 solar panels is located on a 9-acre site just south of the 128th Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
We Energies paid for the project costs and actually owns the solar facilities. The project was developed as part of the utility’s Solar Now program, which allows up to 2.25 MW of generation for any one customer.
