Dairyland strategically develops power supply plans to determine its future energy mix and anticipate the long-term needs of cooperative members. 

Dairyland's Sustainable Generation Plan (SGP) provides a framework for the decisions influencing our energy portfolio. Carbon reduction and system reliability are central considerations.

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) has granted approval for Ranger Power’s Badger State Solar facility, with the entire 149 megawatt renewable energy output purchased by Dairyland Power Cooperative. The solar energy facility will be located on the land of participating private landowners in the Towns of Jefferson and Oakland in Jefferson County, Wis.

System reliability is essential. The Nemadji Trail Energy Center, proposed by Dairyland and Minnesota Power/ALLETE in Superior, Wis., is a 625 MW combined-cycle natural gas facility. Flexible and responsive, it will serve as the "power behind the power" supporting renewable energy investments. It will also be an economic engine for the northern region.
