About Us
Powering Wisconsin is a member-led coalition aimed at advancing renewable energy solutions that move Wisconsin toward increased sustainability while preserving and protecting private property rights.
As the federal government and corporate America moves increasingly toward reduced carbon emissions, renewable energy solutions provide an opportunity to keep meeting our energy demands while helping move toward those mandates.
Our Services

Solar
One solution is clear as day: solar power creates jobs, drives innovation, and strengthens our economy as a key player in moving the Midwest toward a renewable energy future.

Storage
Strong storage infrastructure can bring down energy costs by increasing grid efficiency and improving reliability and flexibility.

Wind
The most cost efficient source of renewable energy, wind power moves the Midwest toward a renewable energy future.
The Facts
Renewable Energy Creates Clean Jobs in Wisconsin
- Clean energy jobs now outnumber fossil fuel jobs in the United States, and more jobs are being created right here in the Midwest.
- Clean Energy is creating new jobs, new businesses, and new economic development in Wisconsin.
- More than 70,000 Wisconsinites already have well-paid, family-supporting jobs in clean energ
Renewable Energy is Compatible with Traditional Farming in Wisconsin
- Wind and solar are compatible and profitable ways farmers can grow their businesses, support their families, and be the stewards of their land.
- Renewable energy sources can be harvested all year long—increasing efficiency and providing another income source for farmers
- Co-locating crops with wind and solar energy production gives landowners the ability to maintain crop production and extend the growing season for certain crops. Additionally, farming can take place right up to the base of a wind turbine.
- Big Government limiting the use of a farmer’s land infringes on their property rights. Farmers are the best stewards of their own land.
- Wind and solar are reliable, drought-proof, high- yield cash crops that can produce for decades at a time without expensive inputs like fertilizers and irrigation, helping landowners diversify their income portfolio and ensure their livelihood.
- The use of ground-cover crops that attract bees and butterflies is increasingly common in solar farms and has been shown to help improve yields of nearby crops.
Renewable Energy is Clean, Affordable, and Reliable
- Homegrown energy in the Midwest helps power our homes 24/7/365.
- Solar prices have decreased 40% in the last five years, making it one of the cheapest renewable energy sources on the market.
- Investments in renewable energy help create thousands of jobs right here in Wisconsin. Energy storage helps maintain a reliable grid. Stored energy can be released on short notice to meet changing energy needs.
- Solar and wind energy works even when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing.
- Energy storage through renewable sources reduces the amount of wasted energy and saves consumers money. Energy storage helps capture clean energy when demand is low, and releasing it when demand is high, helping to reduce waste and save consumers money.
