When making renewable energy decisions, the hardest part can be figuring out “where to begin.”  Minnesota Power recommends that you begin by improving the energy efficiency of your home or business.

See Tools You Can Use in your home, business, or community for information on determining how you use energy and to develop an action plan for saving energy in your home or business. Once you have met your personal energy saving goals, the next step is to build renewable energy options into your action plan. The Web sites* listed below are valuable sources of information on various types of renewable energy. In addition, you can get more information about Minnesota Power's renewable energy programs by clicking on the links to Wind Sense, Solar Sense, and Community Wind Project.

For more information on utility renewable energy installation requirements, including interconnection documents, visit the Distributed Generation page.
