State agency orders data center resubmission
A state oversight agency has ordered ATC, an energy company, to resubmit power line applications for a data center project in Port Washington, Wisconsin. This decision comes after numerous changes to the original application raised questions about its completeness, dealing a major blow to the project's timeline.
A state oversight agency in Madison, Wisconsin, has mandated that ATC, the energy company responsible for a data center project in Port Washington, must resubmit its power line applications. This decision represents a significant setback for the project.
The agency's action followed a review of the initial application, which had undergone dozens of changes, prompting concerns about its completeness. As one speaker noted, the application was "nearly underwater," and this latest action, revoking the completeness determination, is likened to "tossing it a life preserver."
ATC expressed disappointment with the order, stating they are "considering their options." The exact impact on the construction timeline for both the power lines and the data center remains uncertain.
