Alliant Energy completes Power Wisconsin project in Oxford
Neenah Creek Substation upgrade will improve electric reliability
Oxford, Wis. – September 14, 2012 – Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL), an Alliant Energy company, has recently completed another Power Wisconsin Project. The project involved improving the reliability of the Neenah Creek Substation located along Fandrich Street on the west side of Oxford. Alliant Energy added new switches, insulators, arresters, fuses, fuse holders, and other equipment to the substation.
“The Neenah Creek Substation was one of our older substations in the area and was in need of refurbishment to keep it operating effectively and reliably,” said Greg Ardrey, Alliant Energy’s Manager of Project Management - Substations. “We want to make an investment now in the substation so that it will provide many more years of reliable service to our Oxford area customers.”
The company’s investment in the upgrade project, which was finished earlier this month, was about $103,000. Alliant Energy’s 2012 Power Wisconsin Plan includes $60 million of planned investments this year in upgrading overhead and underground electric lines, electric substations and natural gas infrastructure. Power Wisconsin’s goal is to improve system reliability, reduce outages, and provide more reliable power to Alliant Energy’s Wisconsin customers.
