MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin is in the midst of an energy transition, moving away from fossil fuels that harm the environment to renewable sources of energy.
If you take a drive in the countryside these days, you’ll see a glimpse into Wisconsin’s future. Solar farms are popping up everywhere.
On Earth Day, Wisconsin regulators approved Madison based Alliant Energy’s plans to spend nearly $1 billion on new solar plants as part of the Madison based utility’s plans to phase out coal-fired generators.
The Public Service Commission agreed unanimously to authorize Alliant to purchase six solar farms with a combined capacity of 675 megawatts, enough to power about 175,000 typical Wisconsin homes. The sites will be developed as far southwest as Grant County and as far northeast as Sheboygan County.

The only people he saw regularly were a group of guys who lurked at the end of a long basement hallway. DeSpain thought they were airport maintenance, noting, “I couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t talk to me.”
