Wisconsin's Legislature amended the state budget proposal to remove a cap on how much hydroelectric power utilities could use to meet the state's renewable energy mandate. News 13 MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee amended the state budget proposal to remove a cap on how much hydroelectric power utilities could use to meet the state's renewable energy mandate. A law passed last year requires that 10 percent of Wisconsin's electricity come from renewable power sources such as wind turbines and solar panels by 2015. The amendment would allow state utilities to import hydroelectric power from dams in Manitoba, using a new high-voltage transmission line that is under construction between Wausau and Duluth, Minnesota. |
