What are the RESET Reports?

In January 2025, Green County became the first county in Wisconsin to participate in the RESET process. This was followed by Taylor County and then Vernon County. Each county’s process of community engagement gathered community perspectives through an advisory team, focus groups, a mapping workshop, and two community conversations. A statewide Wisconsin report, bringing together findings from all participating counties, is coming soon. The reports document each community’s input and provide information addressing questions raised in the following areas:

Introduction to Electricity and Large-Scale Solar
Laws, Policy & Planning
Economics
Environment
Land Use
Decommissioning
Health & Safety
Leverage Points
