EV charging expansion MGE is actively expanding its EV charging network, adding nearly 60 public chargers in Madison and planning additional installations, presenting a potential cross-sell or partnership opportunity for charging hardware, software management, and fleet electrification services.

Solar and storage growth Recent approvals and investments in solar capacity and battery storage (including High Noon Solar Energy Center and Good Oak/Gristmill farms) indicate strong momentum in distributed generation and energy storage, offering upsell opportunities for energy management solutions, monitoring platforms, and to-be-announced project development services.

Public sector collaboration MGE coordinates with state regulatory bodies and collaborates with sister utilities (We Energies, WPS) under WEC Energy Group, suggesting a pathway for consortium-based initiatives, incentives consultancy, and scalable DER integration services across multi-utility programs.

Community and infrastructure focus Longstanding local presence since 1855 and ongoing partnerships with local businesses (e.g., Lerdahl Interiors) and the City of Madison for infrastructure projects present opportunities for localized service contracts, energy efficiency retrofits, and workforce training programs.

Digital and analytics readiness MGE’s tech stack includes cloud and analytics platforms (Azure Logic Apps, Oracle Essbase, SAS, Office 365) and a corporate culture of modernization, signaling demand for data analytics, grid modernization, asset management, and customer experience platforms aligned with utility digital transformation.
