MGE Energy shareholders heard from executive leadership about MGE Energy’s ongoing clean energy transition during the Company’s virtual annual meeting. Chairman, President and CEO Jeff Keebler discussed the Company’s continued investment in cost-effective, carbon-free energy to achieve its science-based carbon reduction goals. Keebler highlighted the Company’s most recent renewable energy projects, including: 

• Its purchase of 25 megawatts of solar capacity from the 250-MW Darien solar project in Rock and Walworth counties, which came online in early 2025. The purchase also will include 7.5 MW of battery storage capacity. The project’s 75-MW battery system is expected online in 2026.
• Its purchase of 20 MW of solar capacity from the 200-MW Paris Solar project in Kenosha County. The project came online in late 2024. The 110-MW battery storage facility at the Paris site is expected online this year. MGE will own 11 MW of battery storage capacity.
• Two 6-MW solar projects in Fitchburg. Tyto Solar, which came online last year, and Strix Solar, which began serving Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) customers earlier this year, are directly connected to MGE’s distribution system. One-third of the Strix Solar project will serve MGE’s recently approved Shared Solar-Strix program.
