Eaton Adds Solar Project in Wisconsin to Power Regional Manufact

• Eaton (ETN, Financial) launches a 4-MW solar project in Wisconsin to offset 30% of annual carbon emissions across five facilities.
• The initiative supports Eaton’s commitment to achieve net zero operations by 2050 and will be operational by early 2026.
• Partnering with We Energies, Eaton will provide land and receive renewable energy credits, enhancing sustainable energy solutions.

Eaton Corporation (ETN), a leader in intelligent power management, is set to enhance its sustainability efforts with a new 4-megawatt solar project in Wisconsin. The project aims to reduce annual carbon emissions by 30% across five of Eaton’s facilities, aligning with the company’s goal to achieve net zero operations by 2050. Set to be operational in early 2026, this initiative is part of Eaton’s broader strategy to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 58% across the state since 2018.

This collaborative project with We Energies, a subsidiary of WEC Energy Group, will provide resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective energy. Under the agreement, We Energies will construct, own, and operate the solar system while Eaton will offer the land and secure renewable energy credits for supplying clean energy to the local grid.

Eaton’s foray into solar energy underscores its Everything as a Grid approach, which seeks to minimize environmental impact through smart power management and on-site renewable energy production. This initiative reflects Eaton’s ongoing commitment to leverage global trends in electrification and digitalization to foster a more sustainable energy future.
