MADISON, Wis. - The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) announced Thursday, Jan. 21 that more than 20,000 locations across the state now have new and improved broadband access as a result of CARES Act funding.
Gov. Tony Evers authorized the CARES Act funding for broadband expansion in September and the PSC awarded $5.3 million to 12 projects who applied for the funding in October.

The pandemic has shown us that broadband is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) today filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) for approval of an agreement to partner with the City of Madison and the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) on an 8-megawatt (MW) solar array in Madison.
If approved, the electricity generated by this local source of clean energy will increase renewable energy use in City operations by nearly 20%.
“We have partnered with the City of Madison and the school district on a number of projects over the years. This new solar partnership, which provides another source of locally generated clean energy, is another step toward our shared energy goals,” said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. “Another 8 megawatts of locally generated, cost-effective, carbon-free energy on our electric grid will help MGE achieve our goal of net-zero carbon electricity for all customers by 2050.
