Large-scale solar and wind projects have been popping up on landscapes across the country with increasing frequency. But not all communities give the energy infrastructure a welcome reception.
As of April, The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin has approved 4,176 megawatts of solar projects, encompassing over 29,000 acres. This spring, the U.S. Department of Energy announced it’s awarding UW-Extension $1 million to educate communities about large-scale renewables to make siting and developing those projects smoother.
