Alliant Energy donates $90,000 in community solar shares to Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County

Alliant Energy is donating $90,000 in solar blocks from its Fond du Lac community solar project to Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County.

“We appreciate Alliant Energy’s donation from their community solar project and their willingness to support our efforts to help local families,” said Katie Karls, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County. “Our plan is to use the donated solar blocks from Alliant Energy to reduce the electric bills for people living in our Habitat homes, which will really help out the residents with their monthly budgets and give them more dollars to provide for their families.”

Alliant Energy launched its Fond du Lac community solar project in early December. The company expects to start construction on the project, located southeast of the city, this spring and complete it by the end of the year.

“Alliant Energy is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County to bring the benefits of local clean energy to families they serve,” said Kathy Leifer, Alliant Energy senior key account manager for the Fond du Lac area. “The solar blocks we are donating to Habitat for Humanity is another way we can help build a stronger Fond du Lac community and support those in need while creating a healthier, cleaner environment.”

Alliant Energy’s Community Solar program is open to Wisconsin electric customers who can now buy solar blocks in the Fond du Lac community solar project. Customers can participate on a first-come, first-served basis. Purchased solar blocks generate a credit to customers on their monthly electric bills. The credits begin once the facility is in service and will last for 20 years. More than one-fifth of the solar blocks have already been purchased or donated.
