Reducing Wildfire Risk: Hiawatha National Forest and American Transmission Co. Develop First-of-its-Kind Operating Plan Agreement
Agreement will further reduce fire risk while increasing safety and reliability of the electric grid

ATC s cost savings will ultimately be passed down to electric consumers through their local utility.
