We Energies and two other Wisconsin utilities will purchase four new renewable energy projects, expected to come online in the next few years.
The Public Service Commission approved the purchases last week. According to We Energies, the projects account for 450 megawatts of solar, wind and battery storage, or enough to power more than 150,000 homes.
They include the Saratoga Solar Energy Center in Wood County, the Ursa Solar Park in Columbia County, the Badger Hollow Wind Farm in Iowa and Grant counties and the Whitetail Wind Farm in Grant County. The projects all had previous approvals from the PSC.
