More than 30 years ago, MGE and the Wisconsin Utilities Association built an experimental solar-powered home. As the technology advanced, so did we. In the mid-1980s, MGE conducted various solar photovoltaic energy research projects.

By the early 2000s, solar technology was far more efficient. We launched new demonstration projects including solar installations on all the high schools in our electric service area.

We learn about renewable technology options to find ways to offer innovative programs. Now, we are launching a new program to encourage customers to install their own solar units that feed into our electric grid.

Renewable energy is growing at MGE Energy.
