Windsource for Business

Buy renewable energy for Minnesota businesses

Overview

Minnesota businesses like yours can buy renewable energy through Windsource®, one of the nation’s leading voluntary green power programs. More and more companies are using renewable energy in their sustainability plans, but the cost and complexity of installing renewable technologies can be overwhelming. For a reasonable cost, Windsource can help you:

  • Meet environmental goals
  • Achieve LEED certification
  • Position your organization as an environmental leader 

Windsource energy is produced locally and helps support rural economies. The energy you buy is generated in excess of our other renewable goals making a real environmental impact.

Windsource subscriptions are available in 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) blocks for a small additional premium of $3.53 per block, less a credit for fuel costs. In 2010, the average fuel cost credit was $2.63, making the average net charge for Windsource $0.90 per block. 

Sign up for 100% of your electricity usage or a set number of blocks as a portion of your usage.

We require a three-year commitment for all business customers. Your Windsource premium shows up right on your monthly energy bill.
