Manitowoc Public Utilities (MPU) is thrilled to announce that our Community Solar Garden is now live! MPU, in conjunction with a developer, built a 1,500 KW community solar generation facility on Hecker Road just south of Viebahn Street. After many months of construction, the developer commissioned the solar garden inverters, and the solar panels began to produce energy the morning of December 10, 2024.
We’re so proud to bring this Community Solar Program to our customers. This is a first-of-its-kind program in the State of Wisconsin, which allows any good-standing MPU electric customer, owner or renter, the opportunity to experience the benefits of solar generation with no upfront cost. There’s still time to sign up to be a part of it! Customers can visit our website at www.mpu.org to learn more.
