Update on Power Outage
March 4, 2025
Most residents should have received several pieces of documentation from ATC over the past year regarding the planning and construction of new high-voltage power lines in our area. Included below is a copy of the most recent letter from the Public Service Commission on this project.
While the Village recognizes the importance of enhancing grid reliability, we have significant concerns about the installation of these lines through the heart of our community.
In light of this, the Village has formally requested intervention in the matter. Below, you can find the intervention request submitted to the Public Service Commission.
Additionally, we have provided links for further information on the project, including comparisons of the preferred and alternative routes.
If there are additional questions regarding the Village of Merrillan’s request to intervene, please email cwruck@merrillanwi.gov.
Thank you,
Chris Wruck
Village President, Zoning Administrator
