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 2003. 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 Commission
