 $9.1 billion from 2025-2029 in regulated renewable energy in Wisconsin. WEC Energy Group's plan is to replace a portion of the retired capacity by building and owning zero-carbon-emitting renewable generation facilities that are anticipated to include the following investments made by either us or WPS based on specific customer needs:

•2,900 MWs of utility-scale solar;

•900 MWs of wind; and

•565 MWs of battery storage.

WEC Energy Group also plans on investing in a combination of clean, natural gas-fired generation, including:

•1,100 MWs of combustion turbines to be constructed at our OCPP site (we plan on constructing a new natural gas lateral pipeline to support this generation); with

•An additional 675 MWs of combustion turbines planned; and

•128 MWs of RICE natural gas-fueled generation to be constructed in Kenosha County; with

•An additional 114 MWs of RICE natural gas-fueled generation planned.

In December 2018, we received approval from the PSCW for two renewable energy pilot programs. The Solar Now pilot is expected to add a total of 35 MWs of solar generation to our portfolio, allowing non-profit and government entities, as well as commercial and industrial customers, to site utility owned solar arrays on their property. Under this program, we have energized 30 Solar Now projects, totaling more than 30 MWs. The second program, the DRER pilot, is designed to allow large commercial and industrial customers to access renewable resources that we would operate. The DRER pilot is intended to help these larger customers meet their sustainability and renewable energy goals, and could add up to 35 MWs of renewables to our portfolio. We have signed up one customer under this program for 4 MWs of generation capacity. In July 2023, the PSCW approved the Renewable Pathway Pilot, the third renewable energy program. This program allows our commercial and industrial customers to subscribe to a portion of a utility-scale Wisconsin-based renewable energy generating facility for up to 125 MWs. Under this program, we have signed up eight customers for a total of 51 MWs of generation capacity.

In August 2021, the PSCW approved pilot programs for us to install and
