ARRA SGIG Madison Gas and Electric Company Customer Driven Design of Smart Grid Capabilities

The Madison Gas and Electric Company’s (MGE’s) Customer Driven Design of Smart Grid Capabilities project involved the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), a new distribution management system (DMS), and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. MGE provided AMI meters to all medium-to-large commercial and industrial customers and a representative random sample of residential and small business customers within the utility’s service territory. Under a pilot project, MGE also installed 19 public EV charging stations and AMI meters to monitor at-home vehicle charging at 25 locations.
