Planning for future reliability American Transmission Co. was formed in 2001 to plan, permit, build, own, operate and maintain a high-voltage electric grid that meets the reliability and economic needs of our customers. Our planners continually conduct engineering studies on the electric transmission system looking for potential problems that may affect the future performance of the system. Our studies identify and prioritize future projects needed to improve the adequacy and reliability of the electric transmission system and meet evolving public priorities for increased availability of renewable generation.

Many projects serve to increase customer access to low-cost generation, which can reduce the cost of serving load in our footprint. In certain cases, expected economic benefits may be the primary driver of a project. Such is the case with our Paddock-Rockdale 345-kV line in southern Wisconsin. It is the first of its kind in the Midwest – while the line will enhance reliability, economics drove the decision to build. Local electric utilities will save through improved access to the wholesale electric market, and those savings will be passed on to end-use electric customers.

Whatever the need, we select best-value projects that resolve multiple system issues, and we do so in a transparent, collaborative process. We bring people into the process, engaging stakeholders in transmission discussion. We believe this open collaboration is critical to efficiently and economically meet renewable portfolio standards in the region. To that end, we are leading and participating in about a dozen regional and intra-regional studies and initiatives. We also are continuing to work with stakeholders in identifying projects that provide economic

benefits and upgrades that could improve access to lower-cost sources of power inside and outside our service territory.

In this, our ninth year of producing a 10-year forecast of transmission system needs, our focus remains on maintaining the adequacy and reliability of the system to meet the current and future needs of our customers. However, this is the first year that we have included asset renewal projects in the Assessment. While our reliability performance data indicates that our system is performing well, we are placing increased emphasis on managing the risk of aging infrastructure. Our approach to work that traditionally has been called maintenance is moving from a time-based program to a more-efficient process that is informed by performance analysis and operational experience.

The 2009 Assessment covers the years 2010 to 2019, and identifies $2.5 billion in necessary transmission system improvements. The total includes $1 billion for transmission network upgrades specifically described in this report, along with $1.5 billion in interconnection and asset renewal projects, infrastructure replacements and relocations, and other smaller network reliability improvements.

While the cost estimate in our 2009 Assessment is slightly less than the $2.7 billion identified in last year’s report, we may increase our overall 10-year capital spending because of increased focus on regional transmission support to move renewable generation to areas where the power is needed. With more than $2.1 billion invested in the system since 2001, we have become a recognized, national leader in planning, permitting and building electric transmission infrastructure.

Electric System Overviewincreases expected in population, employmentPopulation in Zone 3 is projected to grow about 1 percent annually between now and 2019, and employment is projected to grow about 1.4 percent each year for the same time period. Dane County is projected to realize the largest increase in population and employment.

higher-than-average demand anticipatedElectric load is expected to grow approximately 2.4 percent annually through 2019 for all of Zone 3. Demand in Dane County is projected to grow at an above-average rate for the ATC system. High demand coupled with generation retirements, concerns about the age and high cost of remaining generators, and stress on the transmission lines that are critical for importing power to Dane County will continue to increase.

South Central/Southwest wisconsin and north Central illinois – Zone 3

Transmission is the vital link in bringing power to communitiesTransmission lines move electricity at high voltages over long distances – from power plants to communities

where local utilities deliver power to homes and businesses via distribution lines. A reliable transmission network

provides access to many sources of power, whether they are local or regional. having multiple paths to get power

from producers to consumers lessens the chance that they will experience service interruptions. with an increasing

emphasis on renewable energy, transmission system planning will become even more important to put the power

of wind on the wires.

Transmission system characteristics in Zone 3ATC delivers power in Zone 3 with various transmission facilities including:

n a north-south 345-kV line from Illinois extending to Columbia Power Plant

n a north-south 345-kV line from Illinois extending to Paddock Substation

n an east-west 345-kV line from Fond du Lac to Columbia Power Plant and

n 138-kV and 69-kV facilities throughout the remainder of the zone.

There are a number of transmission system performance issues in Zone 3 including voltage instability, limited import capability, overloaded lines and equipment, and low system voltages throughout the zone. The causes of these emerging problems include steady or rapid growth in certain areas, import capability from Illinois, new power plants and different generation dispatch scenarios.

At the start of our Assessment process in October 2008 the Nelson Dewey third generator was deemed likely to move forward, but in early 2009, the generator was withdrawn from the queue. We performed additional analyses to determine the impact of that action, and determined the withdrawal of the third generator and its associated transmission projects did not cause significant impact on the transmission system in Zone 3.

Transmission system limitations in Zone 3In the analysis of Zone 3, we identified low voltages and transmission facility overloads. Low voltages are particularly serious in the Spring Green, Jefferson, Milton and Brodhead areas. Many overloads on 138-kV and 69-kV facilities throughout Zone 3 are current or emerging concerns.

Electric load growth in Dodge and Walworth counties is precipitating the need for major new 138-kV line reinforcements in those areas in the 2012-2018 timeframe. Load growth in southwestern Wisconsin also will necessitate reinforcements to the transmission system in the 2009-2016 timeframe. In addition, the potential for voltage collapse and major 138-kV line thermal overloads in the Madison area is emerging and will require significant transmission reinforcements within the next 10 years.

ATC has completed 13 network projects in Zone 3 since the 2008 Assessment, most notably the North Madison-Huiskamp 138-kV line project and the Rock River-Bristol-Elkhorn conversion to 138-kV operation.

Keeping up with the rapidly increasing use of the transmission system in Zone 3 will require continued and close coordination with stakeholders. ATC’s current plans in Zone 3 include more than 45 system reliability and economic projects between 2009 and 2023 to address network issues identified. These projects are in various stages of development. The most notable planned, proposed, provisional and asset renewal projects in Zone 3, along with their projected years of completion and the factors driving the need for the projects, are listed below.
