“The WWTC project represents a critical investment in Wisconsin’s energy future,” said Karl Hoesly, president, Xcel Energy– Wisconsin and Michigan. “It reflects years of collaboration with communities and regulators to ensure a stronger, more resilient grid that can serve customers reliably for decades to come.”
Once complete, the WWTC project will enhance Xcel Energy’s Wisconsin transmission network and support ongoing grid improvements across the Upper Midwest. The roughly 80-mile transmission line will connect new and existing substations, beginning near Blair in Trempealeau County, connecting to a substation near Eau Claire and linking to an existing 345-kV line near Owen in Clark County.
