What Wisconsin power is made of

In plain words. Natural gas is the biggest source in Wisconsin (36%), and the power made there is dirtier than the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 1,942 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 888 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Wisconsin plants of 1 MW or more made 66.3 TWh. The biggest sources: natural gas 35.7%, coal 35.2%, nuclear 15.4%. For comparison, natural gas makes 40.9% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 11.9% (22.6% for the U.S.). Wisconsin plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.

Analyst note

Wisconsin residential power was 13th highest of 51 in 2015 at 14.11 ¢ and is 16th in 2024 at 17.18 ¢, so the state slid down 3 places. The U.S. figure went 12.65 to 16.48 ¢ while Wisconsin went +21.8%. The biggest annual move was 2023 at +8.1%; the latest year, 2024, came in at +1.8% against +3.0% for the U.S. Business customers paid 10.89 ¢ in 2015 and 12.63 ¢ in 2024, a gap to homes of -3.22 ¢ then and -4.55 ¢ now; industry went from 7.58 to 8.54 ¢ (+12.7%). Reliability changed little at the 15 Wisconsin utilities that report in both years: their median SAIDI went from 59 minutes in 2015 to 67 in 2024, +14%, against a U.S. median reporter of 99. Wisconsin Electric Power Co is the largest by accounts with 1,170,318, 36.4% of the 3,219,048 accounts in Wisconsin, and the top three hold 66.5%.

At 17.18 ¢/kWh, Wisconsin residential power is mid-table in the country: 16th of 51, 0.70 ¢ above the U.S. figure. Since 2015 the residential price moved +21.8% against +30.3% nationally, so Wisconsin has slipped behind the national trend by 8.5 points.

Businesses pay 4.55 ¢ less than households here (-26.5%); business is under home price in 51 of 51. SAIDI for the typical reporter is 40.5 minutes across 23 utilities, under the national 99.5. Three utilities serve 70.9% of accounts.

By revenue, Wisconsin electricity splits 43.5% residential, 33.9% commercial and 22.6% industrial; by kWh the split is 32.2%, 34.1% and 33.6%. Residential accounts are the largest revenue source here. Home accounts are 88.3% of 3,219,046 accounts and use 645 kWh a month, a commercial account 5,255 and an industrial one 333,643.
