                                 Amendment No. 1
                                       to
                           Current Report on Form 8-K
                          ----------------------------

Wisconsin Energy Corporation hereby amends the following items, financial
statements, exhibits or other portions of its Current Report on Form 8-K dated
as of April 26, 2000 (the "4/26/00 8-K") as set forth below:

     Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a)(4) of Item 7 of Form 8-K,
     Item 7 of the April 26, 2000 8-K is hereby amended to file the pro forma
     financial information required to be filed in connection with the
     acquisition reported in Item 2 of the April 26, 2000 8-K.  In addition,
     Item 7 is amended to include unaudited interim consolidated financial
     statements of WICOR, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
     March 31, 1999.


ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(a)  Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired:

     As previously reported, Wisconsin Energy Corporation acquired WICOR, Inc.
     on April 26, 2000.  WICOR is a diversified holding company with two
     principal business groups: energy services and pump manufacturing.

     The following financial statements of WICOR (Commission File No. 1-7951)
     are incorporated herein by reference to Item 8 on pages 25 through 45 of
     WICOR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
     1999 (a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1):

          1.   Financial Statements.  WICOR's consolidated balance sheets and
               statements of capitalization as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
               and the related consolidated statements of earnings, common
               equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
               ended December 31, 1999, together with the report of independent
               public accountants dated January 24, 2000.

     The unaudited financial statements and notes to financial statements of
     WICOR for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 are
     filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.


(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information:

     The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information (the "Pro
     Forma Information"), filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this report and incorporated
     by reference herein, illustrates the pro forma effect of the acquisition of
     WICOR, through a merger of a subsidiary of Wisconsin Energy into WICOR,
     accounted for as a purchase.  As reflected in the Pro Forma Information,
     Wisconsin Energy acquired all outstanding shares of WICOR common stock
     (except for restricted shares) in exchange for the payment of approximately
     $1.2 billion in cash.  Wisconsin Energy obtained the cash needed to pay the
     merger consideration through the issuance of commercial paper in the
     institutional private placement market, and arranged a $1.0 billion 364-day
     bank back-up facility and a $0.5 billion 3-year bank back-up credit
     facility to provide credit support for the issuance of Wisconsin Energy's
     commercial paper.  In addition approximately $300 million of WICOR debt
     remained outstanding.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements for the fiscal
     year ended December 31, 1999 and for the three months ended March 31, 2000
     have been prepared as if the merger occurred as of January 1, 1999.  The
     Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet has been prepared as
     if the merger occurred on March 31, 2000.

     The Pro Forma Information is based upon the historical consolidated
     financial statements of Wisconsin Energy and WICOR, combined and adjusted
     to give effect to the merger and to related transactions (including the
     related financing) as described in the notes to this information.  The
     purchase accounting adjustments made in connection with development of the
     Pro Forma Information are preliminary and may be adjusted.  Certain amounts
     in the WICOR financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
     Wisconsin Energy's presentation.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
     Condensed Income Statements do not reflect any estimated cost savings
     related to the merger nor the costs to achieve such savings.  The Pro Forma
     Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
     statements and related notes of Wisconsin Energy and WICOR.

     Management believes that the pro forma adjustments and the underlying
     assumptions reasonably present the significant pro forma effects of the
     merger.  Upon completion of post-merger restructuring activities, the
     actual financial position and results of operations of the combined entity
     may differ, perhaps significantly, from the pro forma amounts reflected
     herein because of changes in operating results between the dates of the pro
     forma financial information and the date on which the purchase accounting
     adjustments are finalized.  The Pro Forma Information is not necessarily
     indicative of actual operating results or financial position had the
     transactions occurred as of the dates indicated above, nor do they purport
     to indicate operating results or financial position which may be attained
     in the future.
