affiliated utility, received PSCW approval to acquire and construct High Noon, a utility-scale solar-powered electric generating facility with a battery energy storage system. The project will be located in Columbia County, Wisconsin and once fully constructed, we will own 225 MWs of solar generation and 124 MWs of battery storage of this project. Our share of the cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $736 million, with construction expected to be completed in 2027.

•We received PSCW approval to build five natural gas-fired combustion turbines capable of producing approximately 1,100 MWs, which would be located at the existing OCPP site. The cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion, with construction expected to be completed in 2027-2028.

•We received PSCW approval to add seven natural gas-fired RICE units near the Paris Generating Station. The new RICE units would be fueled with natural gas and capable of producing approximately 128 MWs. The cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $300 million, with construction expected to be completed in 2027.

•In April 2024, we filed a request with the PSCW to construct the Rochester Lateral, which would supply additional natural gas service to the OCPP site. The natural gas lateral would be built in Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee counties. If approved, the cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $200 million.

•We received PSCW approval to construct an LNG facility with storage capacity of two Bcf on the OCPP site. The cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $456 million, with construction expected to be completed in 2027.

•In September 2024, we, along with WPS and an unaffiliated utility, filed a request with the PSCW to acquire Dawn Harvest Solar Energy Center, a utility-scale solar-powered electric generating facility with a battery energy storage system. If approved, the project will be located in Rock County, Wisconsin and once fully constructed, we will own 120 MWs of solar generation and 50 MWs of battery storage of this project. If approved, our share of the cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $375 million, with construction expected to be completed in 2028.

•In September 2024, we, along with WPS and an unaffiliated utility, filed a request with the PSCW to acquire Saratoga,
