Video Message from Our Chairman, President and CEO Jeff Keebler
Your community energy company is leading a powerful clean energy transition, delivering safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy in furtherance of our industry-leading carbon reduction goals. On behalf of all customers, by 2030, we expect our utility subsidiary, Madison Gas and Electric (MGE), to deliver electricity with 80% fewer carbon emissions, based on 2005 levels, and by 2050, we expect to deliver net-zero carbon electricity. The company already is halfway to its 2030 goal to reduce carbon emissions by 80% compared to 2005 levels. Consistent with climate science, we are working to reduce carbon cost-effectively as quickly as we can.
MGE’s Tyto Solar project in Fitchburg, Wis., employs local sheep during the growing season to maintain the grass and brush in a sustainable way. Solar grazing, a form of agrivoltaics, is another example of our commitment to sustainability throughout our operations.
With an ongoing commitment to energy affordability and to customer engagement, we continue to fulfill our fundamental obligation to our communities, advance customer-focused solutions and grow our use of cost-effective clean energy to achieve net-zero carbon electricity.
