$210M revolving facility — $210 million commitment; maturity October 1, 2031
MGE Energy’s credit agreement extends Madison Gas & Electric’s $210 million revolving facility through 2031, preserving funding flexibility without new project financing.
MGE Energy is a regulated Wisconsin utility expanding renewable generation and storage while also adding dispatchable capacity to support reliability. Its 2025 annual report highlights new renewable projects, while 2026 filings identify continued capital needs and a proposed 168-MW RockGen gas-generation acquisition.
This preserves funding flexibility rather than adding a new project or new money. Madison Gas & Electric amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement primarily to extend the facility’s term; the agreement says the parties wanted to “extend the term of the revolving credit facility to the Borrower.” 〔0〕

The headline amount is meaningful, but not a balance-sheet surprise. The agreement establishes a $210 million revolving commitment, with borrowings and repayments allowed before maturity, but it does not disclose a draw, incremental term loan, acquisition financing, or project-specific use of proceeds. 〔1〕
The facility supports the broader capital program without changing its economics. Proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, so the revolver can backstop construction spending, working capital, or letters of credit as MGE executes its clean-energy and reliability investments; it does not itself commit the company to a particular project. 〔2〕
The terms look like ordinary utility liquidity maintenance, not a credit event. The agreement keeps the existing lender group, includes a 0.65-to-1.00 debt-to-total-capitalization covenant, and sets the facility termination date at October 1, 2031.
Bottom line: This is a routine refinancing and maturity extension that keeps $210 million of revolving liquidity available for MGE’s capital-heavy utility transition. It supports the existing business plan but does not materially change it or introduce a new financing surprise.
