Major accomplishments to date
Since we were formed in 2001 as a utility solely focused
on electric transmission, we have:
- upgraded more than 1,824 miles of transmission line,
- improved 165 electric substations and
- built 48 new transmission lines (600 miles).
A more reliable transmission system has enabled us to:
- reliably deliver electricity to customers in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois at all
hours of the year including peak demand hours, - maintain top reliability performance,
- support approximately 1,200 MW of new peak electric usage,
- connect 6,048 MW of new generation at 24 sites,
- connect more than 630 MW of wind generation,
- resolve problems in 19 specific areas to move power into or through our system.

- held dozens of major public planning and siting meetings, and
- participated in thousands of interactive local, state and industry discussions, both giving and receiving information to carry out our duties and responsibilities.
