⚡ Your electric company

Depending on where you live in Hampden Town: Wisconsin Power & Light Co. (company) or Wppi Energy (municipal mktg authority) or Adams-columbia Electric Co-op (co-op (owned by its members)).

Big data centers need a lot of power. Who pays for new power lines depends on state rules. See the rules in Wisconsin.
