Chairmanship Transition

On Oct. 1, 2018, President and CEO Jeff Keebler became chairman of the boards of directors of MGE Energy and MGE as determined by board members earlier this year. Keebler replaces Gary Wolter, who informed board members in January 2018 of his intention to step down as chairman. Wolter, who served as chairman since February 2002, remains a member of both boards.

This change is consistent with the board's management succession plan to provide a transition period following the change in MGE Energy's and MGE's President and CEO from Wolter to Keebler, which became effective in March 2017.
