ATC releases 2014 Annual Report
Features best-in-class operations, community involvement, environmental stewardship
PEWAUKEE, Wis. – Innovation and excellence are the themes highlighted in American Transmission Co.’s 2014 annual report, available at the company’s website, www.atcllc.com, today.
The transmission-only electric utility earned a “best in class” performance rating for 100- to 161-kilovolt circuits in a longitudinal industry study and ranked in the top 10 percent for 345- to 500-kV circuits. Company investments in its construction program included an innovative project near St. Ignace, Mich., to better manage the flow of electricity between Upper and Lower Michigan. The flow-control device, one of only three such facilities in the country, began providing geographically widespread reliability benefits soon after it began commercial operation.
Also featured in the report are a number of environmental stewardship activities that “go above and beyond the lines,” including a study of bee habitat and behavior in transmission line corridors, projects to curb the spread of invasive species and the company’s Avian Protection Program.
Employees are at the heart of the company’s community relations; more than 100 employees participated in United Way Days of Caring activities around the state. ATC connects with communities in other ways, including sponsorships benefiting Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Junior Achievement, the Urban League and the YMCA. The company contributed $600,000 to more than 500 charitable and community programs in the area it serves.
