Madison Gas and Electric has filed a joint application with State regulators to add more than 85 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity and 18 MW of battery storage to its generation portfolio.

These projects represent the latest investments in MGE's efforts to continue reducing carbon as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

The company said, “With our current plans, by 2030, it will have added more than 40 renewable generation and battery storage projects since 2015, totaling more than 750 MW, propelling the company toward its goal of net-zero carbon electricity by 2050.”
