As reported in Wisconsin Electric Power Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, effective October 26, 2010, Thomas J. Fischer resigned from the Board of Directors of Wisconsin Electric in order to seek required authorizations from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in connection with potential interlocking directorships. Mr. Fischer presently serves on the Board of Directors of Actuant Corporation, which in the past has sold equipment to Wisconsin Electric that might be classified by the FERC as electrical equipment. These sales were minimal and made indirectly through third party distributors. Mr. Fischer also serves on the Board of Directors of Regal Beloit Corporation, which, among other things, manufactures equipment that might be classified by the FERC as electrical equipment.

After he received the necessary FERC authorization to serve on Wisconsin Electric's Board, the Wisconsin Electric Board re-elected Thomas J. Fischer to the Board of Directors of Wisconsin Electric effective December 21, 2010. Mr. Fischer was also reappointed to the Audit and Oversight Committee of the Wisconsin Electric Board.

Mr. Fischer remained on the Board of Wisconsin Energy Corporation, the parent company of Wisconsin Electric, during this time.

Unit 2 at the Oak Creek expansion, a 615 megawatt coal-fired generating unit, has completed critical performance tests necessary for the unit to be placed into commercial operation. One of these tests is an operability test, which requires the Unit to achieve a minimum availability of 90% over a continuous 15-day period. In addition, Unit 2 has completed the required net capacity and heat rate tests, as well as certain environmental tests.

However, Unit 2 has not been placed into commercial operation because of problems identified with one of two main boiler feed pumps. The boiler feed pumps supply high temperature, high pressure water to the boiler, which turns this water into steam to power the Unit's turbine generator. One of the boiler feed pumps has had high vibration and has also experienced sub-synchronous vibration, which occurs when the frequency of the vibration is different than the rotational speed of the pump. The contractor, Bechtel Power Corporation, is working with the pump manufacturer and has engaged a third party expert to review and correct these issues.

Because of the issues with the boiler feed pump, Unit 2 will not be placed into commercial operation and turned over to us during the fourth quarter of 2010 as we had previously anticipated. Based upon the schedule and information provided by Bechtel, it is expected that Unit 2 will be placed into commercial operation and turned over on or about January 28, 2011.
