Power when needed; power tomorrow
Power Control: A way you can help when it's needed most
What is Power Control? It's a voluntary program that allows MGE to shut off the central air conditioners (A/C) of participating customers if there is a power emergency. MGE pays $8 for each hour the A/C is shut off. (First-time sign-ups can choose a $25 bill credit or energy-saving gift.)
How it works. When you sign up, a small electronic device is installed that can turn off your A/C unit remotely if needed, more likely on a very hot weekday between noon and 8 p.m.
Why MGE offers Power Control. Central air conditioners account for more electricity use during high-demand periods than any other appliance.
Power Control maintains emergency power reserves at a lower cost than building new generators. These savings benefit all customers. For more information or to sign up for Power Control, call (608) 252-7117. Program details are also at mge.com/powercontrol.
