Description: WEC WEC Energy December 04, 2025
WEC Energy Group Inc. (NYSE: WEC) is a regulated utility that delivers natural gas and electricity across the United States, operating through five segments: Wisconsin, Illinois, Other States, Electric Transmission, and Non-Utility Energy Infrastructure. Its generation mix includes coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear, and a growing portfolio of renewables (wind, solar, hydro, biomass). The company also owns extensive electric distribution (≈35,300 mi overhead, 37,100 mi underground) and natural gas infrastructure (≈47,000 mi of mains, 1,300 mi of transmission, 2.4 M lateral services, and 67 bcf of underground storage).
Key recent metrics: FY 2024 adjusted EBITDA of roughly $3.2 bn, a dividend yield near 3.5 % with a 5-year payout growth of ~7 % CAGR, and a 12 % increase in renewable-energy capacity (≈1.1 GW added, primarily wind and solar). Economic drivers include state-level clean-energy mandates, the continued shift from coal to natural-gas-based generation, and the rising demand for grid-modernization services as EV adoption accelerates.
