MADISON - State regulators have approved plan to build a $500 million-plus power line from western Wisconsin to Middleton.
The Public Service Commission gave the green light Thursday to Northern States Power Company and American Transmission Company to construct the 345-kilovolt line.
The line will run from Holmen to Black River Falls and largely follow existing power line corridors along Interstate 90/94 to Middleton. PSC spokesman Nathan Conrad says the line will import electricity from across the country, increasing reliability and ensuring quicker power transfers.
