Moraine Park Technical College subscribes to Janesville Community Solar Garden
Alliant Energy begins construction, expects project to be operational by end of 2024

Alliant Energy broke ground on two solar projects in Janesville, both east of the Rock Haven assisted living facility. One is a 2.25-megawatt (MW) community solar garden, and the other is a 1.4-MW customer-hosted project for Rock County.

Alliant Energy® Community Solar - Janesville

The Alliant Energy® Community Solar program allows the company's electric customers to subscribe and benefit from solar power without installing solar panels on their property. Subscribers receive monthly credits on their electric bills for every solar block purchased.

Approximately 30% of the community solar garden's 9,000 blocks remain available for Wisconsin electric subscribers on a first-come, first-served basis.

Moraine Park Technical College's Beaver Dam campus subscribed to 12% of the facility after seeing the benefits from its initial investment in Alliant Energy's first community solar garden in Fond du Lac began operating in January 2022. It joins JP Cullen as an anchor tenant at the facility.

"Moraine Park Technical College is proud to expand its partnership with Alliant Energy through an investment in community solar blocks in Janesville - allowing the college to commit to green initiatives affordably in the southern part of our district," said Roy Marquez, director of facilities at Moraine Park Technical College. "We are pleased that the one-year outcomes from the Fond du Lac solar field investment align with predictions, and the overall investment shows positive results. We are confident that the solar blocks in Janesville will offset our Beaver Dam Campus energy costs and look forward to forming additional partnerships that align with the College's mission and goals as opportunities for advancing green initiatives expand across our district."

Residents can also purchase solar blocks as gifts for other Alliant Energy electric customers including nonprofit organizations or donate them to Alliant Energy's Hometown Care Energy Fund.

Alliant Energy placed a second community solar garden, a 4.5-MW project in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, into service earlier this year.

"This is an exciting time for the community of Janesville, and we're thankful for all of the local community partners that came together to make this project possible," said JP Brummond, VP of Alliant Energy's Wisconsin energy company. "Customers are looking for ways to get into renewable energy, and this is a great solution if your home or business isn't the right fit for installing solar panels."

Rock County customer-hosted project

Through the Alliant Energy® Customer-Hosted Renewables program, customers can lease their land to Alliant Energy to construct, operate and maintain a solar project.

Rock County is leasing the land for both projects to Alliant Energy and expects to receive both lease payments and renewable energy credits from the dedicated facility.

Alliant Energy expects both projects to be on similar construction timelines and anticipates both will generate energy by the end of 2024.
