GREEN BAY (WLUK) — As the United States prepares to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, utilities in Wisconsin are ramping up their clean energy initiatives.

The Environmental Protection Agency reports that the electric power sector contributes about 25% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

Wisconsin Public Service is actively working to reduce this impact by expanding its renewable energy facilities, including solar, hydroelectric and wind energy.

“We provide reliable clean energy to our customers every day using our renewable energy facilities,” WPS spokesperson Matt Cullen said.

WPS recently launched Wisconsin’s first large-scale battery storage facility, which stores energy for later use when demand is high. Additionally, WPS offers programs like NatureWise and the renewable pathway program, allowing customers and businesses to choose how their electricity is generated.

Despite the end of federal tax credits for solar panel installations, WPS customers can still benefit from clean energy projects, which have provided tens of millions of dollars in savings. WPS aims to be net carbon neutral by 2050 and has already reduced emissions by 56% since 2005.
