Electric Power Line Legislation
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Wisconsin, United States
Source: Wisconsin Examiner
Wisconsin lawmakers are considering legislation that would give in-state power transmission companies priority for new interstate power lines. Advocates argue this would reduce costs, while critics claim it could increase electricity prices. The bill aims to reinstate a 'right of first refusal' for in-state companies, allowing them to take on projects without competitive bidding.
