(1) We Power leases its ownership interest in ER 1 and ER 2 to WE. (2) Capacity is based on rated capacity, which is the net power output under average operating conditions with equipment in an average state of repair as of a given month in a given year. Values are primarily based on the net dependable expected capacity ratings for summer 2024 established by tests and may change slightly from year to year. The summer period is the most relevant for capacity planning purposes. This is a result of continually reaching demand peaks in the summer months, primarily due to air conditioning demand. (3) Capacity for wind generating facilities is based on nameplate capacity, which is the amount of energy a turbine should produce at optimal wind speeds. (4) Capacity for solar generating facilities is based on nameplate capacity, which is the maximum output that a generator should produce at continuous full power. (5) These units are expected to be retired by June 2026. See Note 7, Property, Plant, and Equipment, for more information. (6 WE acquired its ownership interest in June 2023. In September 2023, WPS filed a request with the PSCW to exercise a second option to acquire an additional 100 MWs of West Riverside's nameplate capacity. WPS subsequently filed for approval to assign its ownership interest pursuant to this second option to WE. See Note 2, Acquisitions, for more information.

- Definition Tabular disclosure of proportionate interests in jointly owned utility plants. Includes the amount of plants in service, the accumulated provision for depreciation (if available), the amount of plants under construction, and the proportionate share. The amounts presented may be further subdivided to show amounts applicable to plant subcategories (for example, production, transmission, distribution). Includes statements that the amounts represent the utility's share in each joint plant and that it must provide its own financing. Information concerning two or more generating plants on the same site may be combined. States that the utility's share of direct expenses of the joint plants is included in the corresponding operating expenses on its income statement (for example, fuel, maintenance of plant, other operating expense). If the share of direct expenses is charged to purchased power, then disclose the amount so charged and the proportionate amounts charged to specific operating expenses on the records maintained for the joint plants. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Topic 980 -SubTopic 360 -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SAB Topic 10.C) -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147479960/980-360-S99-1 + Details
