Where is the solar array located?

The solar array is located at the intersection of Richland County Highway A and Wisconsin State Highway 56, adjacent to the Richland Electric Cooperative Ash Ridge Substation.

How much Energy will the Ash Ridge community solar array produce?

Approximately 188,000 kilowatt hours a year. This amount can vary based on the available sunshine in any year. 

What is community based solar?

A program where members own solar generated power at a common 'community' location. The energy created at the community solar project offsets their usage at their home or business. 

What are the benefits to participating in Transition Energy Solar?

Participating members can offset their own usage with solar generated energy without the need for solar panels at their home or business. Plus, if utility rates increase, the value of your solar energy will increase. 

How many panels are at the Ash Ridge Site?

There are over 2300 panels at the Ash Ridge Site but 1980 of these panels are part of the Dairyland Power Cooperative Utility Scale Solar project. 396 panels are available to the Transition Energy subscribers of Richland Electric Cooperative members. 

How much energy will the Dairyland Ash Ridge solar array produce?

Between 900,000 and a million kilowatt hours. This is enough electricity to power over 80 average homes in the Richland service area. 

When was the Ash Ridge project completed?

The Ash Ridge projected was completed in 2016 and has been producing wonderfully ever since!

Richland Electric Cooperative is focused on providing its members with opportunities for the future. Transition Energy is designed to be an opportunity for members to participate in new technologies, including solar. We strongly believe in the principles of the cooperative business model and applying those principles to new energy technologies can allow everyone to participate in a cost effective manner.
