MGE takes responsibility to provide reliable natural gas and electricity service at reasonable rates. We take seriously our responsibility to control costs, understanding the impact to customers.

Rate changes effective Jan. 1, 2008.

Natural gas
Natural gas prices for distribution service have increased. This increase covers costs related to maintaining and improving the gas distribution system. Gas supply costs, which rise and fall with the market, are passed through without markup.

Electricity
Electric prices have increased. This increase is due to modernizing electric generation facilities, improving environmental performance and MGE customers' share of upgrading the regional electric transmission system.

Statewide energy programs
Both natural gas and electric rates include a legislated increase in funding statewide energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, previously funded through the "Nontaxable Fixed Charge" for public benefits.
