WEC Energy raises five-year capital plan by $10B to $47.5B (2027-2031), driven by 4.9 GW of new data center load from Microsoft and Oracle in Wisconsin.
WEC Energy's November 2026 investor update signals a structural step-change in capital deployment: the 2027-2031 plan rises $10.0B to $47.5B, anchored by 3.2 GW of Microsoft and 1.3 GW of Oracle data center load along the I-94 corridor. The PSCW approved rate cases on November 5, 2026, setting a 9.50% ROE for Wisconsin utilities effective January 1, 2027, while the VLC tariff framework — locking in 10.48%-10.98% ROE with a 57% equity ratio for large-load customers — structurally insulates returns from earnings sharing dilution. The revised plan supports 7-9%+ long-term EPS CAGR and a $47.5B asset base by 2031, up from $34.2B in 2025.

We are a diversified holding company with natural gas and electric utility operations serving customers in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, an approximately 60% equity ownership interest in ATC (a for-profit electric transmission company regulated by the FERC and certain state regulatory commissions), and non-utility energy infrastructure operations through We Power (which owns generation assets in Wisconsin that it leases to WE), Bluewater (which owns underground natural gas storage facilities in Michigan), and WECI (which holds ownership interests in several renewable generating facilities). We were incorporated in the state of Wisconsin in 1981 and became a diversified holding company in 1986. Our wholly owned subsidiaries provide or invest in regulated natural gas and electricity, and renewable energy, as well as nonregulated renewable energy. We have an approximately 60% equity interest in ATC (an electric transmission company operating in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin). Our electric utility operations include the operations of WE, WPS, and UMERC. Our electric supply strategy is to provide our customers with energy from a diverse generation portfolio that balances a stable, reliable, and affordable supply of electricity with environmental stewardship. We own 8,375 MWs of generation capacity, including wholly owned and jointly owned facilities. We are engaged in discussions with a small number of customers to provide power to large-scale data centers being constructed in our service territories. Our long-term goal is to achieve net carbon neutral electric generation by the end of 2050. We expect to use coal only as a backup fuel by the end of 2030 and to be in a position to eliminate coal as an energy source by the end of 2032.
