After the need was determined for an electrical interstate system connecting Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin the CAPX2020 initiative was born. CAPX2020 was broken up into several segments and managed by various owning power companies. Tri-State was contracted to complete much of the Hampton – La Crosse 345 kV Transmission Line by Xcel Energy. From June 2014 to December 2015 Tri-State worked closely with Xcel Energy to install over 700 foundations running from La Crosse to Alma, WI and then from Rochester to Hampton, MN.
