Installed capacity of 225 megawatts (MW)

Project overview

Juneau Solar Park would be located approximately two miles southeast of the city of Mauston, predominantly in the Lemonweir township. The solar park would create locally generated energy, strengthening the region’s grid, while also strengthening the local economy of Juneau County through landowner payments, job creation, and payments to the local government.
