River Falls is one of two communities chosen to pilot a strategic community solar garden initiative by WPPI Energy. Together, the 51 not-for-profit community-owned member utilities of WPPI Energy are pursuing the pilot projects in New Richmond and in River Falls as a first step toward providing their customers even more energy options.
City Administrator Scot Simpson remarked, “River Falls is a national renewable energy leader. That is possible only through the leadership of the City Council, Utility Advisory Board, and Powerful Choices committee along with the voluntary participation of our customers in the variety of programs offered by the utility.
