Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 30, 2008, MGE Energy, Inc. (MGE Energy), entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of December 30, 2008, with the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, providing MGE Energy with a $20 million revolving credit facility. See Item 2.03 for additional information.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On December 30, 2008, MGE Energy entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of December 30, 2008, with the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, providing MGE Energy with a $20 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility expires on September 30, 2009.

This facility carries interest at either:

•

A "floating rate," calculated on a daily basis as the highest of a prime rate, a Federal Funds effective rate plus ½% per annum, or a Eurodollar Rate for a one month interest period plus 1%; or

•

A "Eurodollar Rate," calculated as provided in the Credit Agreement for the selected interest period, plus 1%.

Interest based upon a floating rate is payable monthly. Interest based upon a Eurodollar Rate is payable on the last day of the selected interest period, unless that interest period exceeds three months, in which case it is also payable on the three-month anniversary of the first day of the selected interest period.

No borrowings are outstanding under this facility at this time. Borrowings may be made and repaid at any time during the term of the facility and must be repaid upon the earlier of the scheduled expiration of the facility or the occurrence of an event of default. Events of default include failures to pay scheduled principal or interest, cross-defaults to specified other indebtedness, failure to pay specified judgments, certain bankruptcy-related events, and certain change in control events, subject to any applicable cure periods. Change in control events are defined as (i) a failure by MGE Energy to hold 100% of the outstanding voting equity interests in Madison Gas and Electric Company or (ii) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the outstanding voting stock of MGE Energy by one person or two or more persons acting in concert. The agreement requires MGE Energy to maintain a ratio of its consolidated indebtedness to consolidated total capitalization not to exceed a maximum of 65%. Both consolidated indebtedness and consolidated total capitalization are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
