⚡️ It's storm season. Do you know what to do if the power goes out?

Most outages are caused by storms or accidents. While we can’t control the weather, we can be ready. MGE crews respond quickly and safely, but a little planning goes a long way.

Before an outage:
• Sign up for MGE outage notifications
• Bookmark the outage map + save 608‑252‑7000 in your phone
• Charge devices and check flashlight batteries before storms
• Consider backup power for well or sump pumps
• Assemble a home emergency kit and review it regularly

During an outage:
• Report outages online, by texting 'OUT' to 73904, or by calling MGE
• Unplug sensitive electronics to avoid overloads
• Keep fridge/freezer doors closed
• Use battery‑powered devices for updates
• Only use generators outdoors and away from your home to avoid carbon monoxide dangers

After an outage:
• If your power is still out while neighbors have theirs, call MGE
• Never enter a flooded basement until power is disconnected

⚡🚗 More charging options are coming to our community!

MGE is partnering with local businesses and municipalities to expand access to fast EV charging across our service area—making it easier and more convenient to drive electric.

New fast chargers are now available at Yahara Hills Golf Course, with additional stations coming soon to locations like Summit Credit Union in Westport and Fitchburg. More sites are also in the works, including The Center for Black Excellence and Culture and Madison Memorial High School.

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., and growing EV use is an important step toward a more sustainable energy future. By working together, we’re helping support cleaner transportation and reducing carbon emissions in our community.

Each storm brings unique challenges, and we learn from each one to continue improving how we serve our community.

Our communications tools failed to meet our expectations during this event. We are actively working to address those issues.

Thank you for the privilege to serve you.

Stay safe.
