JANESVILLE
Alliant Energy and a partner could start groundwork as soon as this week on a 440-acre solar project in the town of Fulton.
The Madison-based electric utility announced it has assumed ownership of parcels for a 50-megawatt, solar array farm called North Rock Solar on fields off County M and West Pomeroy Road.
The project is just one solar farm Alliant plans to build in the next few years under a plan recently approved by state utility regulator the Public Service Commission to generate 675 megawatts of solar power throughout Wisconsin.
The portfolio of projects the agency approved this summer includes a 65-megawatt solar farm planned in the town of Beloit and another large solar farm in Jefferson County.
