From a blog post by Tom Content on JSOnline:
The Obama administration's high-profile $3.4 billion funding rollout for the "smart grid" includes $21.5 million for Wisconsin, the administration said Tuesday.
Three Wisconsin utilities will share $21.5 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Pewaukee-based American Transmission Co. received the most funding, totaling more than $12.7 million, for two different projects. The company's projects consist of a fiber-optic communications network for high-speed communications across the ATC transmission system in Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Madison Gas & Electric Co. won $5.5 million to install a network of 1,750 smart meters as well as a network of 12 public charging stations and 25 in-home vehicle charging management systems for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles.
Also in Madison, Wisconsin Power & Light Co. was awarded $3.2 million for a program that would expand on the automated meters that it is installing across Wisconsin. DOE said WP&L will implement a "power factor management system to minimize overload on distribution lines, transformers and feeder segments," in a project that would reduce wasted electricity on its distribution system, or local network of small power lines.
