<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">As Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of
WEC Business Services LLC,&nbsp;I am providing this opinion in connection with (a)&nbsp;the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (File No.&nbsp;333-281253) of WEC
Energy Group,&nbsp;Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), which became effective upon filing on August&nbsp;5, 2024
(the &ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;), of the Company&rsquo;s debt securities and (b)&nbsp;the authorization and issuance by the
Company of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company&rsquo;s 5.625% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due
2056 (the &ldquo;Notes&rdquo;), under an Indenture, dated as of March&nbsp;15, 1999 (the &ldquo;Indenture&rdquo;), between the Company
and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee (the &ldquo;Trustee&rdquo;),
and Securities Resolution No.&nbsp;18 under the Indenture.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In the capacity described above,&nbsp;I have examined

the several Underwriters named in Schedule A thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the Notes to the Underwriters; (vii)&nbsp;resolutions

binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors&rsquo; rights
generally, general equitable principles (whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant
of good faith and fair dealing.</P>

and (assuming due authentication thereof by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture), when executed and delivered
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement for the consideration provided therein, will have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the
Company and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to
or affecting creditors&rsquo; rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.</P>
