WEC Energy Group said its 2025 results will reflect a $150 million charge, or $0.34 per share, from an increase in reserves tied to Illinois Commerce Commission orders and unresolved regulatory dockets. Its GAAP earnings guidance for 2025 falls to $4.83 to $4.93 per share, while adjusted guidance of $5.17 to $5.27 per share is unchanged, with the company expecting the upper end of that range. The company also said Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas filed Illinois rate requests on January 5, 2026, for new rates starting in 2027.
