Tell the Public Service Commission: Wisconsin needs the Dawn Harvest Solar Energy Center!
The Dawn Harvest Solar Energy Center, a proposed solar farm in Rock County, WI, would produce enough clean energy to power 30,000 Wisconsin homes – and we need to show the Public Service Commission that we need this project! Dawn Harvest would also invest more than $96 million in local communities over the project’s lifespan, and would be a critical step forward toward meeting our clean energy goals.
The final comment period has been extended and is now open through Feb. 14, 2025.
