One state and electrical company is getting it when it comes to solar and clean energy. Alliant Energy in Wisconsin is setting their aim to produce up to 1,000 megawatts of solar power by 2023, the company announced Thursday.
Alliant Energy is a public utility holding company that incorporated in Madison, Wisconsin that consists of four subsidiaries:
- Interstate Power and Light Co. is a public utility that generates and distributes electricity and distributes and transports natural gas in Iowa.
- Wisconsin Power & Light Co. provides similar services as IPL in south and central Wisconsin.
- Resource is organized to manage non-regulated investments
- Corporate Services provides administrative services to Alliant Energy and its subsidiaries.
That is enough energy to power about 260,000 homes in Wisconsin, Alliant says. The first solar farm will be built in Fond du Lac County, with the groundbreaking for the farm scheduled some time next year.
“By building new solar energy resources, we are contributing to a brighter future for our customers and the communities we serve,” said David de Leon, President of Alliant Energy, Wisconsin in a release.
Alliant previously pledged to cut 80% of its carbon emissions by 2050. The company already operates a 2-megawatt solar farm in Beloit, Wisconsin. With the announcement, Alliant says it is working to allow customers to rely solely on renewable energy, if they so choose.
Alliant says customers will be able to:
- Choose to have up to 100% of their energy supplied by renewable sources
• Participate in solar panel program through roof leasing designed for medium-sized projects of ~200kw
• Aggregate service for large customers with multiple accounts under a single renewable energy contract
