Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) today filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) for approval of an agreement to partner with the City of Madison and the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) on an 8-megawatt (MW) solar array in Madison.
If approved, the electricity generated by this local source of clean energy will increase renewable energy use in City operations by nearly 20%.
“We have partnered with the City of Madison and the school district on a number of projects over the years. This new solar partnership, which provides another source of locally generated clean energy, is another step toward our shared energy goals,” said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. “Another 8 megawatts of locally generated, cost-effective, carbon-free energy on our electric grid will help MGE achieve our goal of net-zero carbon electricity for all customers by 2050.
MGE filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin on Wednesday for approval.
If the agreement is approved, the 8-megawatt solar array in Madison would provide a local source of clean energy. The project is estimated to cost more than $15 million.

The solar array would be made up of roughly 28,000 solar panels and cover more than 50 acres of land north of the Rodefeld Landfill in southeast Madison.
