OverviewResources and ConsumptionWisconsin has some renewable energy resources but lacks more conventional fossil fuel resources. Several rivers that cross the State provide hydroelectric power potential, and the State's high corn production positions it to be one of the Nation's leading producers of ethanol. Wisconsin’s population and energy consumption are about average among U.S. States. The industrial sector leads total State energy consumption. Energy-intensive industries in Wisconsin include forest products and metal casting. PetroleumWisconsin has one small refinery on Lake Superior. It receives crude oil supply from the Lakehead Pipeline System, which originates in western Canada and delivers crude to eastern Ontario and throughout the Great Lakes region. Refineries in the metropolitan areas of Chicago and Minneapolis provide petroleum products for most of Wisconsin's market. The southeastern corner of Wisconsin requires the use of reformulated motor gasoline blended with ethanol. Wisconsin produces a substantial amount of ethanol at several ethanol plants in the southern and central portions of the State. Natural GasNatural gas markets in Wisconsin receive supplies primarily from the United States via the ANR Pipeline and the Guardian Pipeline, which run through a major hub in Joliet, Illinois. Natural gas is also delivered to Wisconsin from U.S. and Canadian sources by three other pipelines operated by the Northern Natural Gas Co., the Natural Gas Pipeline Co., and the Viking Gas Transmission Co. Wisconsin's residential and industrial sectors lead the State's natural gas consumption. Natural gas dominates the home heating market, as roughly two-thirds of Wisconsin households use natural gas as their primary fuel for home heating. Coal, Electricity, and RenewablesCoal typically fuels more than two-thirds of Wisconsin's electricity generation. Nuclear reactors and natural gas-fired plants supply most of the remaining generation, and electricity transfers from other States satisfy the rest of demand. About four-fifths of the coal used in Wisconsin arrives by railcar from Wyoming. Two nuclear power plants, located on Lake Michigan, supply about one-fifth of Wisconsin’s electricity generation. The Unit 1 reactor at the Point Beach nuclear plant is one of the oldest operating reactors in the United States. Small hydroelectric facilities also contribute electricity to the grid, although wood is the State's most-used renewable energy resource. Wisconsin's Governor recently announced a goal of generating one-fourth of the State's electricity and one-fourth of its transportation fuel from renewable sources by 2025. Per capita electricity use in Wisconsin is somewhat less than the national average, due in part to heavy reliance on natural gas for home heating. Just over one-tenth of Wisconsin households rely on electricity as their primary energy source for home heating. |
