What happened
Dairyland Power Cooperative and South Shore Energy have officially canceled the Nemadji Trail Energy Center, a proposed $1 billion gas-fired power plant in northern Wisconsin. The utilities notified the Public Service Commission of the cancellation after facing years of legal challenges from Indigenous and environmental groups. No construction had begun on the project.

Why it matters
The project was intended to provide between 550 and 625 megawatts of power, serving as a reliable energy source as utilities shifted away from coal and invested in renewable energy. Its abandonment alters regional energy supply plans and investment trajectories.
