Why do MGE/UW say that their proposal is $20 to $40 million less expensive?
MGE/UW have used this language to mean that the 150 MW proposal is less expensive for ratepayers than if MGE and UW built separate facilities. They have not provided details about those separate facilities, but they imply that one would be an electric generation facility for MGE and the other a heating and cooling plant for UW rather than a true cogeneration plant.
