Hear What Customers Are Saying About MGE's Large Solar Project in Fitchburg

The O'Brien Solar Fields are powering several major customers with clean, sustainable energy under MGE's innovative Renewable Energy Rider (RER) program.

Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) hosted a celebration for the O’Brien Solar Fields earlier this year. The 20-megawatt (MW) solar array in Fitchburg, Wis., provides solar energy to local businesses, municipalities and public institutions under MGE's innovative Renewable Energy Rider.

MGE is partnering with the following customers on this project through RER agreements:

• City of Fitchburg
• Placon
• Promega Corporation
• Tribe 9 Foods
• University of Wisconsin-Madison
• Willy Street Co-op
• Wisconsin Department of Administration

An RER enables MGE to partner with a large energy user to tailor a renewable energy solution to meet that customer's energy needs. This innovative model helps grow local clean energy and advance shared energy goals, including MGE's net-zero carbon electricity by 2050 goal. Watch the video to learn more.
