Wisconsin does not have any crude oil production or reserves. Crude oil enters the state in the Lakehead Pipeline System—which stretches 1,900 miles—transporting crude oil from Canada and North Dakota.

Wisconsin does not have any natural gas production. The state's natural gas needs are met by several interstate pipelines running from both the Gulf Coast and Canada.

Wisconsin is among the top 10 ethanol-producing states and produces more than 500 million gallons of ethanol per year.

COMPASS SYMBOL

Each state has been given a unique symbol, which provides an overview of the state’s energy profile in terms of its infastructure, resources and market. The symbols allow you to compare and contrast these key indicators and explore connections among the states.

Compass Symbol Parts

Points of interest & HIGHLIGHTS

All states and regions include additional facts and highlights contained above the region or state summary as well as within Points of Interest indicated on the map.

Points of Interest Parts
Topic Icons

These icons are used on Points of Interest (map pins) or on the Fact Highlights area above each region or state description. These icons further classify what the information is about. All Highlights and Points of Interest fall into one of the following types:

  • Oil
  • Gas
  • Hydro
  • Solar
  • Nuclear
  • Other Renewable
  • Infrastructure
  • Economy
  • Energy
  • Electricity
  • Coal
Points of Interest

Across every regional and state map, you will be able to hover over map points, called Points of Interest, that reveal more details about the energy in that area. Points of Interest combine topic symbols and category colors to indicate subject matter.

Category Colors (Key Identifiers)
These colors are applied to all icons throughout the experience and correlate to various key indicators. These colors are also consistent to the compass rankings (with the exception of policy, which is not ranked). All topics (Highlights and Points of Interest) fall into one of these four categories:
