Wisconsin Generation Construction
Is it true that Wisconsin will not have enough generation
to meet it's future needs? No. |
 |
Because the assumption that Wisconsin will build no new generation after
the year 2000, is used as the primary justification for the construction
of the Arrowhead-Weston bulk transmission line, SOUL would like
to keep
you up to date with what is really happening in the state with new
generation plants. Following is a list of new generation from the
Public
Service Commission of Wisconsin (The regulatory body that oversees
the
state's utilities) and the present status as of June 2, 2001. The
proposed transmission line can move 600 Megawatts (MW) continuously
or
750 MW for shorter periods of time and would require approximately
4500
acres for it's easement. As a comparison, most plants listed will
be
built on thirty acres or less. One MW will supply approximately
500
homes with electricity. Remember any plant shown listed with a date
after 2000, except Rock Gen, does not, nor will ever exist according
to
the two utilities that want this new transmission line as the first
step
towards deregulation, just like California.
The following tables are from a document straight from
the Wisconsin Public Service Commision
