What's new?
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is reviewing our application for the Kelly-Bunker Hill-Blackbrook project in central Wisconsin. We are proposing to rebuild, replace and remove a number of 115,000-volt transmission system elements in Marathon, Lincoln and Langlade counties due to aging conditions and to improve reliability. Specifically, we will be removing and replacing a substation in Lincoln County, removing a substation in Langlade County, and rebuilding and upgrading about 27 miles of transmission lines. Additional work at substations in Merrill, Weston, Mosinee and Antigo will be necessary to support the new equipment. The project is estimated to cost $30 million. Construction is scheduled to start in 2017 to meet an in-service date in late 2019.
Our Quad County Electric Reliability Project was completed and placed into service in January, three weeks ahead of schedule and five percent under budget. This crossed Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee and Dodge counties. Many of the transmission structures along this 58-mile, 138-kV line were either lattice or H-frame structures from the 1940s and were replaced with single galvanized steel poles.
