We Energies has started construction of three energy projects in Wisconsin, comprising solar, wind and battery storage facilities. Together, the projects are expected to generate enough electricity to power around 100,000 homes and provide additional support to the grid during periods of peak demand.
The projects are:
- Darien Battery Storage – a 75 MW battery energy storage facility in Walworth County. Construction began last week. The facility is part of the Darien Solar and Battery
- Park, where a 250 MW solar project entered operation in 2025.
- Dawn Harvest Solar and Battery Park – a 150 MW solar project with 50 MW of battery storage in Rock County. Construction started in June.
- Badger Hollow Wind Energy Center – a 110 MW wind project in Iowa and Grant counties. Construction began in July.
All three projects have been approved by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin.
We Energies will be the majority owner of the projects, with Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) and Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) as co-owners. The projects were developed by Invenergy, which is also responsible for their construction.
