Following approximately two years of study and analysis, American Transmission Co. has determined that a 345-kilovolt transmission line from the La Crosse area to the greater Madison area would provide multiple benefits to the state of Wisconsin including improved electric system reliability, economic savings for utilities and energy consumers, and access to additional renewable energy. As it finalizes its evaluation of the multiple benefits of the project, ATC will begin the public outreach efforts on the proposed Badger Coulee Transmission Line and will host a series of open houses this fall with the public and other stakeholders in the 150-mile area from La Crosse to Madison to explore routing options for the new line. |

After years of neglect, high-voltage electricity transmission systems all over the world are getting much-needed attention. Driven by population and economic growth, policy initiatives, and a renewed industry focus, significant capital investments are being made to expand and extend transmission infrastructure. Thousands of miles of new transmission lines are being built and existing systems are being retrofitted to add new capacity and greater monitoring capabilities. According to a new report from Pike Research, cumulative investment in electricity transmission projects will surpass $606 billion worldwide during the period from 2010 to 2020. |
