WEC Energy's Wisconsin Electric signs 20-year Point Beach nuclear power purchase deal

Positive Impact 3 of 5 product/contract Written later

Wisconsin Electric Power Company, a WEC Energy subsidiary, agreed on August 14, 2026 to buy 86% of the capacity, energy, ancillary services and environmental attributes from Units 1 and 2 of the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant under a 20-year power purchase agreement. The deal still needs approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, and the company says approval would bring customer savings compared with the current agreement.

Key points

  • Agreement signed August 14, 2026 with NextEra Energy Point Beach LLC covering 86% of Point Beach Units 1 and 2
  • Unit 1 term runs October 6, 2030 through October 5, 2050; Unit 2 term runs March 9, 2033 through March 8, 2053
  • Either party may terminate if PSCW approval is not obtained by January 1, 2028, with an automatic extension to July 1, 2028 in certain cases
  • Approval would replace the current agreement, which expires October 5, 2030 for Unit 1 and March 8, 2033 for Unit 2
