The Wisconsin Public Service Commission listened to community feedback on a proposed 100 MW solar farm by Fox Solar in Morgan, Oconto County. The project would include over 208,000 solar panels, a collector substation, a generation tie line, and a battery energy storage system on over 500 acres.

Concerns were raised about the environmental impact on prime agricultural land and wetlands affecting local waterways. Conversely, support was voiced by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, contingent on maintaining reliable energy delivery. The PSC's decision is due by May 4, with construction anticipated to start in 2027 and conclude by late 2028.
