How do I enroll in Summary Billing?

  • Review the Summary Billing Terms and Conditions to see if you qualify.
  • Apply to MGE:
    • Contact your MGE account representative or
    • Call 608-252-7007 or

  • Receive email notice from MGE that your Summary Bill has been issued. If you use a spam-blocking email service, please include mge.com as an acceptable sender. This will allow you to receive your Summary Bill email notification message.

Why would I receive a paper bill after I enrolled in Summary Billing?
A variety of reasons, for example:

  • New locations added after enrolling in Summary Billing were not included in your Summary Bill.
  • A location may not have been included when your Summary Bill was set up.
  • MGE was not notified that a new service should be included on your Summary Bill account.

You will only receive paper bills for those accounts not included in your Summary Bill. Please pay the paper bill to avoid late-payment charges.

How do I authorize others to access my Summary Bill?
After you have signed in at mge.com, click on the "Allow Others Access" button. Select the accounts the new user should be able to access. You may update or delete users after selecting them from a drop-down menu. Only users authorized by the primary user are able to access Summary Bills online.

When is my Summary Bill payment due?
Your Summary Bill must be paid in full by the due date listed in the upper-right corner of your bill. We will apply appropriate late-payment charges if you miss a payment or make a partial payment.

Could I have two Summary Bills due within one month?
It is possible, depending on when your Summary Bill is created. All Summary Bills are due 20 days from the date the Summary Bill is issued, so periodically, the Summary Bill may be due at the beginning of the month and the end of the month.
