Whitewater Solar is a 180-megawatt solar farm proposed in Jefferson and Walworth Counties that would bring up to $150 million in local investment, create hundreds of construction jobs, and provide lasting environmental benefits.
Right now, the Public Service Commission (PSC) is accepting public comments on Whitewater Solar through Friday, July 11. This is your opportunity to support a solar project that puts environmental and economic stewardship at the center of Wisconsin’s clean energy transition.
Tell the PSC you support the approval of Whitewater Solar.
