A 2007 Update to Electrical System Investigation and Report No.737 (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) was prepared in August of 2007 by Forster Electrical Engineering of Oregon, Wisconsin.
The report states that the purpose and necessity for the substation is to provide needed reliability to the electrical system, needed capacity for existing loads and planned load growth, and long term economic benefits for the community. A reasonable site for the new substation is near a planned transmission line on property already owned by the City of Lake Mills. This location limits the need for extensive transmission lines and provides several locations to connect to the distribution system.
The recommended plan, as described, had the lowest impact on rate payers and lasts the longest for reliability and capacity. A rate analysis study is included with the Best Value Planning Report located in appendix A of the Report.
The Public Service Commission agreed with the report and issued the construction authorization.
