BrighterEnergy.org, a site that focuses on alternative and renewable energy sources, reported on Great River Energy's search for community-based renewable energy proposals.
The Minnesota electric co-op is seeking the energy to meet obligations set out by the Minnesota Renewable Energy Standard, which requires electric utilities to supply an increasing percentage of energy sales from renewable sources.
Eligible technologies for the proposal round include biomass, wind, solar, municipal solid waste, and other sources.
According to the news item in BrighterEnergy, the co-op is hoping to provide 25 percent of its energy from renewables by 2025.
