Electric and natural gas utility holding company serving 4.4M customers across Midwest
WEC Energy Group operates one of the largest utility networks in the U.S., managing 70,000 miles of electric distribution and 44,000 miles of gas lines across Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota. The tech stack is anchored in enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, SQL Server) with emerging AI/ML workload investment, while hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering and operations—suggesting increased internal digitization of grid monitoring, outage response, and compliance workflows rather than product-market expansion.
WEC Energy Group is a Fortune 500 holding company that generates and distributes electricity and natural gas through seven regulated utility subsidiaries. The company serves nearly 4.4 million customers across the Midwest with 8,800 megawatts of generation capacity and extensive distribution infrastructure. Headquarters are split between Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Chicago. The stock trades on the NYSE under WEC. The company operates in a heavily regulated environment with focus on reliability, customer service, and shareholder returns.
Core enterprise systems include SAP, Oracle, and SQL Server, alongside Microsoft tools (Azure, Azure DevOps, .NET, C#, PowerShell) for development and infrastructure. SCADA systems manage grid operations; Blackline handles financial controls; configuration and identity management via Active Directory and Citrix.
Active initiatives include AI and generative AI application development, AI workload monitoring and observability, AI governance, WMIS/DDS design tool rollout and training, outage restoration process improvement, SAP and enterprise software upgrades, and finance reporting on BusinessWarehouse and Blackline platforms.
