Georgetown Solar Array

About us

Construction started in May 2023 on Georgetown Solar, a 15-acre solar array in Georgetown Township at 1867 100th Street, County Road I, Balsam Lake. Solar energy will feed into the electric distribution system to benefit members of Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative.

Polk-Burnett is partnering with Seattle-based OneEnergy Renewables to develop Georgetown Solar. The 2 MW solar array will generate about 4,500,000 kWh of electricity annually, enough to power 375 homes.

Georgetown Solar will be built, owned and operated by OneEnergy Renewables, a Wisconsin solar energy company that offers expertise in site development, engineering, equipment purchasing, construction and operations. The Madison-based team has developed 15 projects across Wisconsin, and another 11 in adjacent states.

Polk-Burnett will purchase solar energy output from the array at a fixed rate for 25 years. The timing of Georgetown Solar construction was coordinated with other co-op solar projects across Wisconsin to get a better price and return on investment for members.
