<u>Performance Measures for Annual Incentive Compensation</u>

On December 4, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the WEC Energy Group Short-Term Performance Plan, as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2019 (the "STPP"), the Compensation Committee of WEC Energy Group, Inc.'s ("WEC Energy Group" or the "Company") Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") established the overall performance measures and their respective weighting for the upcoming 2026 plan year. Except as described below, for named executive officers ("NEOs") of WEC Energy Group and its subsidiary, Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("WE"), the 2026 annual incentive under the STPP will be primarily dependent upon financial achievement determined by WEC Energy Group's performance against targets for earnings per share (75% weight) and cash flow (25% weight). Awards can be increased or decreased by up to 10% based upon performance in the operational and social areas of customer satisfaction (5%), safety (2.5%) and supplier diversity and workforce development (2.5%) for the entire family of WEC Energy Group companies.

For NEOs of WEC Energy Group and WE whose positions primarily relate to utility operations in Wisconsin, the 2026 annual incentive under the STPP will be dependent upon financial achievement determined by WEC Energy Group's performance against targets for earnings per share (25% weight) and cash flow (25% weight), as well as against targets for the aggregate net income of WEC Energy Group's Wisconsin utility operations (50% weight). Awards for these NEOs can be increased or decreased by up to 10% based upon performance in the operational and social areas of customer satisfaction (5%), safety (2.5%) and supplier diversity (1.25%) for WEC Energy Group's Wisconsin utility operations, as well as workforce development (1.25%) for the entire family of WEC Energy Group companies.

<u>Performance Measures for 2026 Performance Unit Awards</u>

Pursuant to the terms of the WEC Energy Group Performance Unit Plan, amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2023 (the "PUP"), on December 4, 2025, the Compensation Committee selected the Company's performance measured against total shareholder return over the three-year performance period as compared to the total shareholder return of a custom peer group of companies (55%) and performance against the weighted average authorized return on equity of all of WEC Energy's utility subsidiaries (45%) as the performance measures for the 2026 performance unit awards. The Compensation Committee also selected the level of the Company's stock price to earnings ratio compared to its peer companies as a performance measure that can increase the vesting percentage by up to 25%. In no event will the performance unit vesting percentage be greater than 200% of the target award.
