WEC ENERGY GROUP SEEKING APPROVAL FOR $360M INVESTMENT IN SOLAR, BATTERY PARK

WEC Energy Group is seeking approval from state regulators to spend $360 million to own and create the first large-scale solar and battery storage project in Wisconsin.

The Paris Solar-Battery Park in Kenosha County would feature 200 MW of solar power generation and another 110 MW of battery storage. The solar arrays would be enough to power 60,000 homes while the battery storage system would discharge power after the sun goes down.

Two WEC Energy Group utilities, WE Energies and Wisconsin Public Service, would own ninety percent of the project, and Madison Gas and Electric would own the other 10 percent under a plan submitted to regulators. The total investment in the project would be $400 million. WEC plans to invest $2 billion in new solar, wind and battery storage projects by 2025.
