NSPW wants to construct and place in service two new substation facilities and a new 69 kilovolt (kV) approximately 8.4 mile-long transmission line connecting these two substations. The transmission facilities will be located in the townships of Stanton and Star Prairie, St. Croix County, Wisconsin. Stanton Substation will be located 1.5 miles northeast of New Richmond, and would be a small 69 kV switching substation. Somerset Substation, eventually a distribution facility, will be constructed 1.5 miles north of Somerset and will used initially as a switching substation. NSPW has designated this entire project as the Somerset-Stanton 69kV Transmission Line Project.
