MGE Connect® Expanding in 2022

Reduce your carbon footprint and earn rewards from MGE!

About MGE Connect

Electric use peaks during stretches of hot, humid days when air conditioners run in a majority of homes and businesses. These periods of high electric use put pressure on utilities to generate and distribute enough electricity to everyone who needs it. With customers’ permission, minor temperature adjustments are made to their smart thermostats to reduce energy use during periods of high demand.

Nearly 2,500 households participated in MGE Connect last season. Some of the events lowered demand by more than 2 megawatts (MW) each hour. This is equal to the power from 6,000 solar panels or generating enough electricity to offset the usage of about 550 MGE households in the summer!
