We Energies, Foxconn Complete Clean Energy Project in Wisconsin
July 25, 2024 | FoxconnEstimated reading time: 1 minute
We Energies, a Wisconsin-based utility company of WEC Energy Group, and Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) are pleased to announce the completion of a solar panel installation project at Foxconn’s Science and Technology Park in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.
"In partnership and collaboration with We Energies, Foxconn is pleased with the end results of this joint effort to integrate green and sustainable practices throughout our manufacturing operations to further achieve our responsibility of protecting the environment," said Foxconn Technology Group. "As Foxconn’s operations in Wisconsin expand in response to market demand, the presence of renewable energy resources demonstrates our commitment to environmental stewardship across the manufacturing supply chain to our customers and the community."
Foxconn has invested over $1 billion in Wisconsin and currently employs over 1,000 workers who manufacture data servers and motherboards for tier-1 customers. These customers value suppliers like Foxconn for their use of renewable energy throughout the manufacturing process, which influences additional business growth.
The one-megawatt project features nearly 2,000 solar panels, capable of producing enough energy to power 300 homes. The innovative design utilizes a mix of single-axis tracking and fixed-tilt panels to maximize renewable energy production.
"We’re pleased to bring more clean energy to Wisconsin through this partnership with Foxconn," said Mike Hooper, president of We Energies. "As Foxconn expands its operations, this project will deliver affordable, reliable, and clean energy for years to come."
The annual energy production from this solar project is expected to offset more than 1,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions—equivalent to taking 260 cars off the roads or planting 20,000 trees. Over the 30-year life of the system and the agreement between We Energies and Foxconn, the benefits are projected to grow to over 33,000 metric tons of CO2 removed, 7,200 cars off the road, or 560,000 trees planted.
