PSC approves power line along Beltline

A new electrical transmission line will be built across Dane County.

The three-member Wisconsin Public Service Commission voted unanimously today to approve a proposal by American Transmission Co. to erect a 345-kilovolt line that will extend from west of Middleton to the countyâ??s eastern edge.

The plan will follow a route along the Beltline and none of it will be built underground.
