Agricultural Impact Statements: Electric Projects

​​​​​​​​The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has recently prepared agricultural impacts statements (AIS) for the following electric projects (e.g. transmission lines, electric generation, substations etc.) in Wisconsin. Past electric project AIS documents can be accessed from the AIS Publication Archive under the Additional Resources sidebar.

Projects that contain a “PSC Docket" link, indicate that the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) has regulatory authority over the project. The PSC Docket link, where listed, will redirect you to the project docket information on the PSC website.

Utilities may also communicate project updates, developments and interactive maps for larger electric projects on a separate website. Where available, these project specific utility websites are linked.​
