The record shows a steady annual rhythm. MGE Energy has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend around the end of August.

Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 31%. The source gives a growth streak of five consecutive calendar years.

Ex-dates fall around the end of February, May, August and November, with payment on the 15th, about two weeks later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around the end of November 2026 and be paid around December 15. Past raises have come with the late-August or early-September payment, not the November one.
