In 2006, MMPA began an ambitious project to locate wind turbines within our member communities. Each MMPA community can take pride in this meaningful action to create power that is carbon-free and renewable.
Local, Clean and Sustainable Electricity
MMPA member utilities are taking a step forward to produce renewable energy in each of our cities. The project locates power generation within the community where the electricity will be used. While many wind farm projects are corporately served, Hometown WindPower will serve the people who own their local utility. We’re keeping the economic and environmental benefits local.
Hometown WindPower gives all MMPA member communities the chance to become a part of the solution to the state’s renewable energy needs. A wind turbine will be a signal to all approaching each city that your hometown cares about the environment and clean energy production – a town that is a leader.
This system of turbines reflects MMPA’s commitment to sustainable energy, and will help MMPA meet its state requirement to achieve a Renewable Energy Objective of 25 percent by 2025.
