AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Energy & Utilities: A new Wisconsin poll finds 68% of voters say electric bills are higher than a year ago, and 56% want a middle path using both natural gas and renewables for affordability and reliability. Power Rates: Utility watchdogs are pushing back on proposed double-digit rate hikes at We Energies and WPS, arguing data-center cost decisions could be driving bills higher. Data Centers in Politics: Wisconsin’s governor race is increasingly shaped by data-center backlash, with voters weighing costs, water and power needs, and campaign positions. Pipeline & Safety: Enbridge’s Line 5 remains shut after a rupture in Iron County; about 150 responders are on scene, a temporary no-fly zone is still in effect, and officials say no injuries were reported. Agriculture: DATCP confirmed the first soybean tentiform leafminer in cultivated fields in Wisconsin (St. Croix, Polk, Pierce), with infestations currently light and monitoring recommended. Farm Water Quality: A report highlights how nitrate pollution is still largely unaddressed beyond one city’s treatment upgrades, pointing to a wider countywide well-water problem. Road Construction: State 54 work between Wisconsin Rapids and Plover is extended through October/November, with additional total closures after Labor Day for railroad crossing repairs. Auto Industry: The Automotive Experience Alliance named its 2026-2027 board, adding new officers and directors from dealer associations across the U.S. Manufacturing & Sponsorship: Snap-on extended its title sponsorship of the Milwaukee Mile INDYCAR weekend, reinforcing the company’s Wisconsin manufacturing ties.
