Alliant Energy began the installation of solar panels at the 50-MW Beaver Dam Solar Project
- Alliant Energy has initiated construction on a solar project in Wisconsin with a capacity of 50 MW. This development is part of Alliant Energy's ongoing efforts to expand its renewable energy portfolio.
Alliant Energy began the installation of solar panels at the 50-MW Beaver Dam Solar Project site on June 6, in a ceremony attended by executives, team members, construction partners, local leaders, neighbors, and participating landowners. Located in Dodge County, Wisconsin, just east of Beaver Dam, the project is part of Alliant Energy's Clean Energy Blueprint, an ambitious plan to expedite the development of renewable energy and decrease carbon emissions in a cost-effective manner.
The construction of this particular site is set to be completed by the end of 2023.
Overall, Alliant Energy's Clean Energy Blueprint comprises 12 utility-scale solar projects in Wisconsin, which will collectively generate almost 1,100 MW of energy once they are operational. Three of these projects, producing a combined total of 250 MW, commenced operations in late 2022, while the remaining nine are currently under construction.
