SUPERIOR, WI (KDAL) – The first of nearly 1300 solar panels have gone up in the Superior Water Light and Power’s Community Solar Garden.
The site near Heritage Park in Superior will produce 470 kilowatts, enough to power about 115 homes.
The project is fully subscribed with Essentia Health, the National Bank of Commerce, Kari Toyota and the City of Superior among the largest subscribers.
Besides producing renewable energy, the site will also include a pollinator garden with native grasses and flowers to create a habitat for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
The solar garden is expected to begin feeding into the SWL&P power grid in October.
