We Energies
We Energies has been a Diamond Level Wisconsin Clean Cities member since 2000. We Energies serves more than 1.1 million electric customers and 1.1 million natural gas customers in Wisconsin. We Energies is the trade name of Wisconsin Electric Power Co. and Wisconsin Gas LLC, utility subsidiaries of WEC Energy Group Inc.
In August, We Energies announced along with Madison Gas and Electric a new partnership to acquire the remaining 150 megawatts of the Badger Hollow Solar Farm. We Energies filed a joint application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, marking the company’s first single site solar project in company history.
The project joins the growing list of renewable projects the company is pursuing as it looks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 80% by 2050.
According to experts, the 100 MW generated on site is enough electricity to power more than 20,000 homes.
“This is another significant step in our transition to a clean energy future,” said Kevin Fletcher, president and CEO – WEC Energy Group, the parent corporation of We Energies. “Along with the environmental benefits of solar energy, this purchase will lower costs to customers over the life of the project.”
If regulators approve this acquisition, this phase of the Badger Hollow Solar Farm would begin generating electricity in 2021.
We Energies customers can currently buy all or some of their energy from renewable resources through the Energy for Tomorrow Renewable Energy Program.
WEC Energy Group published its 2018 Corporate Responsibility Report in July 2019. More information on WEC Energy Group’s environmental efforts, including the full report, are available online at www.wecenergygroup.com/csr.
