“We can harness both the wind and the sun in one project to bring more renewable electricity to our members. It not only allows us to bring in renewable energy for our members, but it also actually saves us money on our power costs. So it’s more renewables, less cost for our members. And that’s what they are asking for.”

Tim Thompson, CEO, Lake Region Electric Cooperative
