\u201cWe are thrilled to have completed this significant milestone in Wisconsin\u2019s renewable energy landscape,\u201d said Bram Walters, CEO of SunVest Solar. \u201cThis project builds on our deep history in Wisconsin and sets a new benchmark for behind-the-meter solar in the state. It\u2019s a testament to how solar energy can empower businesses to take control of their energy future\u201d<\/p>\n

The project features nearly 30,000 solar energy modules and is designed to provide Charter Steel with a substantial portion of its energy needs, supporting Charter Manufacturing\u2019s efforts to reduce its environmental impact and lower its operational costs.<\/p>\n

“We are proud to integrate renewable energy into our operations through this partnership with SunVest Solar,” said Joel Casterton, president of Charter Steel. “This innovative project reflects our commitment to sustainability and operational excellence while reinforcing our role as a responsible leader in the steel industry.”<\/p>\n
