Personal property rights are a cornerstone of Wisconsin law, empowering farmers and landowners to make decisions that best serve their land and livelihoods.
Wisconsin consumes 6x more electricity than it creates, showing just how vital solar and wind projects are to the state meeting their energy demand, efficiently and affordably.
Wisconsin knows that farmers and landowners know their land best, and so does Powering Wisconsin. Renewable energy protects personal property rights, providing the choice to diversify income through voluntary land‑lease agreements.
With solar prices decreasing by over 42% in the last ten years, solar is among the most efficient sources of new electricity in Wisconsin, delivering reliable power while making smart use of existing infrastructure.
Across Wisconsin, energy investment is helping drive economic growth by creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and strengthening county and municipal budgets. Utility aid payments highlight renewable energy’s value by funding local infrastructure and tax relief.
Powering Wisconsin recognizes that personal property rights are fundamental in our state. For many farmers and landowners, land‑lease agreements can provide steady income that helps support their operations while preserving the freedom to decide what’s best for their land.
Across Wisconsin, solar and wind projects are driving local economic growth. In 2024 alone, they accounted for more than 6,000 jobs statewide — outpacing natural gas, coal, oil, and other fossil fuels combined.
Voluntary renewable energy land lease agreements can provide steady, predictable income that helps cover taxes, equipment costs, and succession plan, without selling land or leaving agriculture behind. Keeping farmland in the family starts with long‑term stability.
Today is Solar Appreciation Day! Solar power is helping Wisconsin move toward a more resilient, affordable, and sustainable energy future — one panel at a time.

Big investments. Local impact. Energy‑related projects have driven $5 billion in capital investments across Wisconsin, supporting construction, manufacturing, and long‑term economic growth in communities statewide.
Wind energy delivers clean, low‑cost power while providing real benefits to rural communities. By keeping energy dollars in‑state and supporting working farmland, wind energy plays an important role in building a more resilient, affordable energy future for Wisconsin.
Through tax benefits, renewable energy has invested $15.5 million in local Wisconsin communities by supporting local services, infrastructure, and economies. Clean energy isn’t just about power. It’s about reinvesting in the places people call home.
