MGE's outage map shows the separate situations where unexpected problems with equipment or power lines, or planned maintenance activities, are affecting customers in MGE's electric service area.
The default view of our outage map shows current outages. These are unplanned outages due to storm damage, equipment failure or damage, human intervention or other unexpected events.
You also can see planned outages by selecting the MAINTENANCE tab on the outage map. Maintenance outages occur when MGE needs to temporarily turn off power due to equipment inspection, repair or replacement. MGE provides customers advance notice of maintenance outages.
If you are an MGE electric customer, your power is out, and you do not see your outage reflected on the map:
We rely on our customers to report their electric outages so MGE can restore power as quickly as is safely possible.
If you are a gas-only customer of MGE, please note that although your address will appear (outside the green outline) on the map, MGE cannot restore your power because we do not supply your electric service. Please contact your electric service provider when your power goes out.
We know accurate estimates of power restoration are important to you. Our estimates are the best we can predict with the information we have at the time. Please know we are working as quickly as is safely possible to restore power. If unexpected events happen that change how quickly we are able to restore power, we will update our estimates. See Power Restoration for more information.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
MGE customers may opt in to receive outage notifications by text, email and/or automated voice call. Outage notifications provide the outage time and estimated restoration time for both unplanned and maintenance outages. Learn more and enroll.
