Developers Apply to Build Western Wisconsin Large Wind Farm

This week developers Emerging Energies submitted permitting applications to the Public Service (PSC) Commission to built a large wind farm in Western Wisconsin.  The 41-turbine, 102.5 - megawatt project in the St. Croix County towns of Forest and Cylon is the first application to the PSC in more than two years. 

William Rakocy, founding member of Emerging Energies, based in Hubertus, WI, reports in a recent article in the Wisconsin State Journal highlighting the development plans that the company is confident about the project. 

Current conversations are being held within the PSC on siting rules for wind farms in Wisconsin, and this application could offer some clarity into the direction of these conversations. 

According to formal process of submitting applications, the PSC has 30 days to consider if the application is complete, then 360 days to make a decision. 

Wisconsin Wind Works will be following the process closely.  Read the full article in the Wisconsin State Journal.
