Spring Valley-North Lake Geneva Electric Reliability Project
Project overview American Transmission Co. received approval for a new and upgraded electric transmission facilities to keep pace with growing electricity demand in southern Walworth and western Kenosha counties in Wisconsin. The project involves: Construction of a new 138,000-volt transmission line of approximately 23 miles, stretching from the existing North Lake Geneva Substation in southern Walworth County […]
Quad County Electric Reliability Project
Project overview The Quad County Electric Reliability Project involves rebuilding existing transmission lines to improve electric system reliability in portions of four Wisconsin counties: Waukesha, Jefferson, Dodge and Washington. American Transmission Co. is rebuilding approximately 58 miles of aging, 138,000 volt transmission lines stretching from Waukesha to Watertown and northwest toward Slinger. The reconstruction is needed […]
Mackinac HVDC Flow-Control Project
Project overview ATC is installing a high-voltage, direct current flow-control device and building the new Mackinac Substation near St.Ignace, Mich., to better manage power flows into and out of the Upper Peninsula. Need Despite significant upgrades to transmission infrastructure in the Upper Peninsula in recent years, operational challenges remain due to the delicate balance that […]
Bay Lake Project
Project overview American Transmission Co. is proposing to reinforce the electrical transmission grid in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northeastern Wisconsin to address generation changes, changes in demand, the evolution of a wholesale electricity market and emerging reliability concerns. Although ATC has made reinforcements in the region in the past six years, the transmission […]
Whitewater-Mukwonago
Upgraded 22 miles of transmission line between the Whitewater and Mukwonago substations.
West Towne-Fitchburg-Tokay
Constructed six miles of new 69-kilovolt underground transmission line to connect the West Towne Substation and Fitchburg Substation to the new, MGE-built Tokay Substation.
Wempleton-Paddock
Added a second 345-kilovolt line to an existing line between southern Rock County and northern Illinois.
Venus-Metonga
Built new 13-mile, 115-kilovolt transmission line between Monico and Crandon, Wis.
T-20 Phase 2 (Weston-Rocky Run)
Replaced the remaining structures and insulators, added new conductors from Weston-Northpoint and installed optical ground wire (OPGW) from Weston-Rocky Run.
Shawano East-West
Replaced horizontal post insulators (the ceramic piece that holds the wire to the structure and opposes the flow of electric current) on approximately 38 wood poles which were part of the 138-kilovolt line constructed in the 1980s.
