MGE Connect
MGE Connect® helps customers save energy, control costs and support a more sustainable energy future by using smart home devices to automatically shift energy use during times of high electricity demand.
Participation is simple—your enrolled device adjusts during designated “events”—typically during hot and humid days when energy use is higher than normal. In return, you help reduce stress on the electric grid and earn rewards.
Choose your type of device:
Smart Thermostat
