# Wisconsin PSC Awards $58M Broadband Grants

On November 5, 2026, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin awarded nearly $58 million through its 2026 State Broadband Expansion Grant Program for 46 projects expected to deliver new or improved high-speed internet service to more than 18,000 locations in unserved communities. The awards create deployment and subcontracting opportunities for broadband infrastructure providers. The PSC said this may be the final state grant round unless the Legislature authorizes additional funding, while at least 30,000 locations remain estimated to be unserved.

- Broadband providers and infrastructure contractors can evaluate the 46 funded projects for construction, equipment, and subcontracting opportunities; the announcement does not identify individual awardees or project-level values.
- The remaining unserved locations represent continued infrastructure needs, but future state-funded opportunities depend on whether the Legislature provides additional funding.
- Companies pursuing Wisconsin work can use the funded project scope—more than 18,000 locations—as an indicator of near-term deployment activity and plan business development accordingly.
