Construction is now halfway complete at the Two Creeks Solar Park in Manitowoc County, as more than 250,000 solar panels are in place.
Once construction is completed later this year on the Wisconsin Public Service’s project, Wisconsin’s first large-scale solar facility will feature 500,000 panels and produce enough energy to power more than 33,000 Wisconsin homes.
According to WPS’ Media Relations Representative, Matt Cullen, “Since breaking ground last August, construction crews have been installing several components throughout the 800-acre facility, including solar panels, steel support structures, solar tracking mechanisms and electrical equipment. The project is expected to begin generating electricity by the end of this year.”
This project is an important piece of their plan to provide a cleaner energy future for the communities it serves by reducing carbon emissions, reducing costs to customers and preserving a diverse mix of generation facilities.
