Energy Leadership Stories from Red Wing
Presenter: Rich Huelskamp, Member and Former Chair, Southcentral Minnesota Clean Energy Council
As a longtime resident of Red Wing, Rich Huelskamp will share how that city became a leading example of how cities can achieve significant energy savings for its citizens and businesses. As a former member of and now consultant to Red Wing’s Sustainability Commission, he will explain how the city established a sustainable and resilient path forward.
Red Wing features a fantastic natural environment in which citizens can play, work and live. They recognize its value and work hard to preserve it. The City Council has been very supportive in accomplishing this goal with onsite solar installations and purchases of renewable energy. The School District has followed suit, making their buildings more energy efficient and leasing property for community solar, helping its budget bottom line. Red Wing also works with Xcel Energy in its Partners in Energy (PIE) program.
With this forum, you can learn how your community can pursue sustainability goals as well.
All Southcentral Minnesota Clean Energy Council events are free and open to the public.
