WISCONSIN ENERGY CORPORATION

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On June 10, 2002, Wisconsin Energy Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Wisvest Corporation, has signed a definitive agreement with PSEG Fossil, LLC of New Jersey, a wholly owned subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated, for the sale of two fossil-fueled power plants owned and operated through Wisvest-Connecticut, LLC, a subsidiary of Wisvest Corporation. The power plants, located in Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut, have a combined generating capacity of more than 1,000 megawatts.

The sale, which is subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, various other regulatory approvals and which must comply with the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, is expected to close during 2002. Wisconsin Energy Corporation expects to receive approximately $280 million from the sale, which includes corporate tax benefits and reimbursement for capital expenditures and inventory. The sale will not result in a gain or loss for Wisconsin Energy Corporation because a valuation charge relating to the power plants was taken in the first quarter of 2002. Wisconsin Energy Corporation plans to use the proceeds to reduce debt and to strengthen its balance sheet.
