Green Power
PRESENTED BY MGE:
Partnering for Clean Power
Brat Fest is partnering with Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) to power this community celebration in an environmentally friendly way. Our clean power partnership allows Brat Fest to offset its carbon emissions from electricity used at the festival with green power.
Growing Renewable Energy in Our Community
MGE customers can power their home or business with renewable energy from MGE’s local and regional sources. By working together, we can reach our clean energy goals. And if we can go further faster, we will!
Working Together Toward Net-Zero Carbon Electricity by 2050
Working with our customers and partnering with events such as Brat Fest advances shared energy goals. Through these partnerships, we are working together to reduce carbon emissions by at least 80% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero carbon electricity by 2050. To achieve our goals, we are growing our use of renewable energy, engaging around energy efficiency and advancing electric transportation. Learn more at mge2050.com.
Green Power Tomorrow (GPT)
MGE makes it easy to be green! Through our GPT program, customers receive their electricity from wind and solar resources in our region. For a penny more per kilowatt hour, participants can choose to receive all or a percentage of their electricity from renewable resources, such as MGE's Saratoga Wind Farm in Iowa.
Shared Solar
Shared Solar offers locally generated solar energy for up to half of your annual electricity use. MGE's community solar program is innovative, easy and affordable—and it supports large-scale solar in our community.
MGE’s first Shared Solar project, built on the roof of the City of Middleton’s Municipal Operations Center, became operational in 2017. MGE expanded the program in 2020 with a second, larger array at the Middleton Municipal Airport.
Customers who subscribe pay a one-time, upfront fee to participate and a fixed rate per kilowatt hour to receive a share of their electricity through the program. If you would like to participate, join our Waiting List and be part of the Shared Solar community!
