Tired of coal on the Isthmus? We have a a wonderful opportunity to shape our energy future. Right now we are in the process of figuring out the best options to replace the three dirty coal-fired power plants in downtown Madison – and you can help!
Please join us for the first Town Hall meeting where the City of Madison, Dane County, the State of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin and Madison Gas and Electric are all looking for our input — BEFORE they propose a new plant. It’s a great opportunity! Attend the feasibility hearing on how we’ll provide energy for the Isthmus and beyond. The consultants on this study are looking for YOUR feedback on alternatives for powering the Isthmus and campus. An overwhelming response could have a HUGE effect!
