New solar array grows clean energy

By MGE

Madison Gas and Electric Company (MGE) customers who subscribe to our community solar program, Shared Solar, are now being served by a new 5-megawatt array at Middleton Municipal Airport. Shared Solar is an option for eligible MGE electric customers who want solar energy to help power their business or their apartment, condo or single-family home.

Join Shared Solar

The solar array, which came online in early August, will generate enough clean energy to power more than 1,000 households through the Shared Solar program. Participants pay a one-time, up-front fee to reserve a portion of the electricity produced and a stable price per kilowatt-hour for 25 years. Visit mge.com/sharedsolar to sign up or to learn more.

The remaining portion of the array serves the City of Middleton and the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District under two separate Renewable Energy Rider agreements with MGE.

Net-Zero Carbon Electricity by 2050

Growing our use of renewable energy is one of the ways we’re working to achieve net-zero carbon electricity by 2050. Customer participation in Shared Solar helps us grow clean energy in our community.
