Le Sueur
The City of Le Sueur is located approximately 30 miles south of the Twin Cities metro area on Highway 169. The city was originally known for the Green Giant company, whose symbol, the Jolly Green Giant, still welcomes visitors and residents to the city on a large billboard. Today Le Sueur is home to several unique industries including Agropur, a top 20 global dairy producer, Le Sueur Inc., a casting and molding manufacturer, and Cambria, a manufacturer of quartz countertops. The Le Sueur Electric Utility Department has been providing the city with electric power since the early 1900’s, when a 100 horsepower steam engine was installed. In 1992, Le Sueur and seven other cities joined together to form MMPA.

Renewable Products
Clean Energy Choice
Clean Energy Choice is an affordable, low-cost way for residential electric customers to support renewable energy. The program offers residential customers with the option to elect to have 50%, 75%, or 100% of their electricity from renewable sources. This is in addition to the 17% renewable energy that is provided to all MMPA customers, as required by Minnesota law. The renewable energy for the Clean Energy Choice program comes from the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency’s renewable resources and renewable purchases from other utilities. For more information on MMPA’s renewable energy resources, click here.
