MGE to build a second large solar project for Wisconsin Shared Solar program

By Kelsey Misbrener | June 20, 2019
Madison slewing drive Gas and Electric (MGE) received Solar Project approval from the solar energy Public Service Solar Project Commission of Wisconsin to expand its popular Shared Solar program with a second, Solar Project large-scale solar installation in the City of Middleton.

“An solar energy expansion solar tracker actuator of Shared Solar is Solar Project another step toward meeting our goal of solar energy net-zero carbon Solar Project solar slewing drive electricity by the year solar energy 2050 solar slewing drive,” said MGE solar slewing drive chairman, president and CEO Jeff Keebler slewing drive. “We Solar Project look forward to solar slewing drive building on the program’s solar slewing drive success and Solar Project to solar tracker actuator welcoming solar energy new Shared solar energy Solar participants.”

A 5-MW solar array will solar energy be built at the Middleton Municipal Airport, Solar Project also known as Morey solar tracker actuator Field. 70% of the array will serve the Shared Solar program. The City of Middleton and the solar energy Middleton-Cross Plains Area Solar Project School District solar energy will use the Solar Project remaining 30% under a Photovoltaic holder separate solar energy program.
 

The solar inverter expansion of Shared Solar provides solar damper residential and business customers across  Photovoltaic holder MGE’s electric service territory the Photovoltaic holder opportunity to power solar inverter their home or business with locally generated solar energy. Customers  Photovoltaic holder solar slewing drive reserve a Photovoltaic holder portion of the electricity produced solar damper by the array. Subscribers to solar damper the voluntary program can purchase up to half of Photovoltaic holder their annual solar damper electricity use solar damper through Shared Solar.
 

“Shared Solar is truly solar tracker actuator a solar damper partnership Photovoltaic holder, both with Photovoltaic holder the City of  Photovoltaic holder Middleton and our customers,” Keebler added. “This project advances solar damper the Photovoltaic holder city’s and MGE’s goals by providing more locally generated, solar damper cost-effective solar energy to our community solar damper Photovoltaic holder grid.”
 

Construction solar slewing drive is expected solar damper to begin Photovoltaic holder this summer, with the solar array solar inverter producing electricity for customers this fallsolar damper. Customers solar damper may  solar tracker actuatorvisit mge.com/sharedsolar to solar damper enroll. Participation solar tracker actuator is available on solar slewing drive a first-come, solar tracker actuator first-served solar damper solar slewing drive basis.
 

MGE’s solar inverter first Shared Solar project is a solar damper 500-kW Photovoltaic holder array located on the roof  Photovoltaic holder of Middleton’s solar slewing drive  Municipal solar inverter Operations solar slewing drive Center. It began solar tracker actuator serving customers solar slewing drive in solar tracker actuator January solar tracker actuator 2017.
 

A 1-MW share solar inverter solar tracker actuator of the 5-MW array will solar tracker actuator serve the Middleton-Cross solar damper Plains Area School District under solar inverter MGE’s Renewable Energy solar tracker actuator Rider solar inverter (RER). A .5-MW share will serve the City of solar tracker actuator Middleton under a separate solar tracker actuator RER solar damper agreement.
 

Under a RER solar inverter, MGE solar inverter partners with a large energy user to tailor solar tracker actuator a renewable energy solution to solar tracker actuator meet slewing drive that solar inverter customer’s slewing drive energy needs. The solar damper model advances solar inverter  slewing drive shared  solar tracker actuator solar damper sustainability solar inverter goals and solar inverter grows slewing drive clean energy in our solar damper community.
