WEC Energy units settle Illinois QIP and UEA cases; 2025 charge rises to $205 million

Negative Impact 4 of 5 legal/regulatory Written later

Illinois utility subsidiaries PGL and NSG agreed to a proposed settlement with the Illinois Attorney General that would resolve open QIP and UEA rider proceedings, subject to Illinois Commerce Commission approval. Because of the settlement, WEC Energy's 2025 results will reflect a $205 million, or $0.46 per share, charge, up from the $150 million it had previously expected to record.

  • PGL will permanently remove $130.0 million of qualified infrastructure investment costs from rate base starting in 2027
  • Bill credits over 2026-2028 total $75.0 million for PGL (QIP), plus $49.0 million for PGL and $1.0 million for NSG (UEA)
