It’s rare when the interests of industry, customers, governments and investors align, but that is what’s happening as Wisconsin’s largest utilities plot a path toward carbon-neutral energy generation by 2050.
WEC Energy Group, the Milwaukee-based parent company of We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service Corp., and Madison-based Alliant Energy Corp. have laid out plans to shut down greenhouse gas-emitting coal plants in coming years and replace them with clean solar parks and wind farms. Their goals are the same: Carbon neutral emissions by 2050.
