MGE is seeking to adjust rates in 2022 and 2023 to enable new cost-effective, renewable generation as well as technology and infrastructure improvements. In early May, MGE filed an application with state regulators to increase natural gas rates by about 3% for 2022 and 1.65% for 2023. The increase covers infrastructure improvements to maintain safe, reliable natural gas service.
 

MGE also is proposing a 5.9% electric rate increase in 2022 but seeking to credit 2020 fuel costs in 2022, reducing the overall increase to 5.1%. With new generation coming online which could impact future costs, MGE is seeking the opportunity to reopen the case on electric rates for 2023.

All MGE customers depend on a safe, reliable and secure grid. The company continues to invest in the grid as a shared resource to ensure all customers benefit from new technologies and cost-effective, carbon-free energy sources. MGE has been able to contain and manage costs as it continues to transform how safe, reliable, affordable and increasingly sustainable energy is delivered to customers.

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin will review the proposal, solicit public comments and set rates by the end of this year.

While it may look harmless, a fallen line could be live and dangerous. Stay away from lines on the ground and areas covered with storm debris where fallen lines could be hidden. Always assume that a downed line and the objects around it are energized. If you encounter a downed power line, call MGE right away at 608-252-7111.
