Item 8.01. Other Events

MGE Power Elm Road, LLC, has a 8.33% ownership interest in each of two 615-megawatt generating units being constructed by Wisconsin Energy Corporation in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Wisconsin Energy Corporation (the "Operator") is both the majority owner and operator of the facility.

On May 7, 2008, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) issued a draft modified Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) Permit for the cooling water intake system to serve the existing units at the Oak Creek Power Plant (owned by Wisconsin Energy Corporation) and the two new units being added as part of the Oak Creek expansion. The WDNR has proposed to modify the permit because it has concluded that the water intake system that has been built at the site is best technology available both for the existing units and for the new units. The draft modified permit is subject to a public comment period and a public informational hearing. The Operator anticipates that the WDNR will issue a final modified permit in the summer of 2008.

For additional information regarding the Oak Creek generating unit construction and the WPDES permit, please refer to Item 1. Business on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and Footnote 6 - Elm Road and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
