We Energies plans new natural gas plant as data centers drive demand
We Energies wants to build another natural gas-fired power plant, this time in the Fox Valley's Outagamie County. The Milwaukee-based utility filed preliminary engineering plans for a 750-megawatt natural gas plant in Wrightstown, on the site of the existing Fox Energy Center owned by Wisconsin Public Service Corp. We Energies did not say whether the project, called Fox North Energy Center, is intended to serve the artificial intelligence data centers driving a massive build-out of new power generation across Wisconsin. Two of the utility’s pending natural gas plant proposals – 1.2 gigawatts in Kenosha County and 324 megawatts in Walworth County – will help power data center campuses in Mount Pleasant and Port Washington. If approved by the state Public Service Commission, Fox North is projected to come online in late 2032 and run continuously with a lifetime of at least 30 years. We Energies expects to begin construction in 2029. "The Fox North Energy Center will help meet Wisconsin's growing energy needs and strengthen grid reliability across the region," We Energies spokesperson Brendan Conway said, in an Oct. 2 statement. More information about the project, including cost estimates, "will be provided through regulatory filings in the coming months," he
