NextEra Energy Resources signed a long-term agreement to continue supplying WPPI Energy with 168 MW of electricity from Wisconsin’s Point Beach Nuclear Plant, extending deliveries into the 2050s. WPPI currently receives the same capacity share from the nearly 1,200-MW facility, which provides about 15% of Wisconsin’s electricity and recently received a 20-year license renewal from federal regulators.
Leaders from both organizations emphasized the importance of stable, carbon-free baseload generation as electricity demand rises across the Upper Midwest. The renewed partnership supports WPPI’s strategy of maintaining a diverse and reliable power mix for its 51 member utilities across Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan.
Point Beach’s two reactors generate enough electricity to power nearly one million homes and businesses. The agreement reflects broader regional efforts to secure long-term, low-emission energy resources amid an evolving grid and increasing decarbonization goals.
