Baldwin Delivers Nearly $450,000 to Lower Prices at the Pump in Northwest Wisconsin
Baldwin-backed funding will expand access to clean biofuels
WEBSTER, WI – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced that Wisconsin will receive more than $445,000 to lower prices at the pump and give Wisconsinites cleaner fuel options. The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program, funded by the Baldwin-backed Inflation Reduction Act.
Connor’s Service Station in Webster, Wisconsin will use the funding to install two E15 fuel dispensers, two B20 dispensers, one ethanol storage tank, and one biodiesel storage tank. The project is expected to increase the amount of biofuel sold by nearly 224,000 gallons per year.
Senator Baldwin has long championed increasing the use of biofuels to reduce prices at the pump and support Wisconsin’s farmers, producers, and rural communities. Last year, Senator Baldwin successfully pushed the Biden administration to allow E15 fuel to be sold during the summer months.
