History

The company's roots in the Madison area date back more than 150 years when the Madison Gas Light and Coke Co. was founded. From that start, the Madison Electric Co. began delivering electric service in 1888. In 1892, the Four Lakes Light and Power Co. succeeded Madison Electric Co. and operated as Madison's electricity provider for the next four years.

In 1896, this local utility incorporated to become Madison Gas and Electric Co.

In 2001, the company formed a holding company named MGE Energy, Inc. and Madison Gas and Electric Co. became its main subsidiary.
