2009 was a challenging year but we moved forward with our strategic plan. We placed our second company-owned wind project into service, while continuing to set the stage for two others; we neared completion of our initial advanced metering infrastructure installation project in Wisconsin; and are constructing our first of several environmental control projects. We also successfully worked with state regulatory commissions to reach fair and balanced decisions during these challenging economic times, and implemented cost cutting procedures across the organization to mitigate the weak sales caused by a struggling economy and the coolest summer in history in our service territories.
