WEC Energy Group is the largest Midwest utility, with approximately $29 billion of rate base and derives most of its earnings derived from regulated operations. Nearly 75% of earnings come from areas with constructive Wisconsin and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulation. Its regulated-like commercial renewable energy business accounts for the remainder of earnings.
Wisconsin, representing nearly two thirds of WEC Energy's business, is a favorable regulatory environment with a forward-looking test year and earned returns above the national average.
WEC Energy's large investment plan increases regulatory risk.
