Wisconsin regulators approve five-fold solar power increase (2 farms, 300 MW and 150 MW)

With one of its three members sidelined as part of a political tussle, Wisconsin’s utility regulation board on Thursday approved the state’s first large-scale solar projects.

The Public Service Commission voted 2-0 to authorize construction of two solar farms: the 300-megawatt Badger Hollow project in Iowa County and the 150-megawatt Two Creeks project along Lake Michigan south of Kewaunee.
Both projects are many times larger than any existing solar farm in the Midwest. Badger Hollow, with a footprint roughly twice the size of the UW Arboretum, would be one of the largest solar farms in the country.
