We Energies Eyes Nuclear Power Deal | Milwaukee News

We Energies is eyeing a decades-long power deal with the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, aiming to lock in electricity through 2053 to meet soaring demand—driven by booming data centers and projected to jump 40% by 2032. While the utility claims this will save customers money and ensure reliable, around-the-clock power, consumer advocates remain skeptical, citing rising costs under the current contract and lack of transparency on the new deal’s financials. The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin will decide the fate of the agreement this fall, as We Energies’ parent company touts long-term savings and economic benefits, even as the utility itself has previously acknowledged the nuclear deal’s role in rate hikes.
