The Public Service Commission approved the purchases last week. According to We Energies, the projects account for 450 megawatts of solar, wind and battery storage, or enough to power more than 150,000 homes.

They include the Saratoga Solar Energy Center in Wood County, the Ursa Solar Park in Columbia County, the Badger Hollow Wind Farm in Iowa and Grant counties and the Whitetail Wind Farm in Grant County. The projects all had previous approvals from the PSC.

Video: Legacies of the Land

Every farm has a story. Together, they tell the story of America. ???? Watch the full Legacies of the Land film — AGCO's tribute to the families who've fed and shaped America for 250 years.

From Missouri to Kentucky to Idaho, three multi-generational farming families — Lehenbauer Farms of Palmyra, Missouri; Matthews Land & Cattle of Oakley, Idaho; and Riney Dairy of Springfield, Kentucky — share what it means to live, work and pass down a life on the land. Their stories are different. The legacy is shared.

"Every farming family has a story worth telling, rooted in resilience, stewardship and love for the land." — Eric Hansotia, AGCO Chairman, President & CEO
