Helping Members Become "Greener"
Perhaps the best way Dakota Electric can protect our environment is to help our members make wise energy decisions.
Going Paperless
Dakota Electric helps members reduce their waste by offering members the chance to receive their bills and Circuits newsletter electronically. Doing so not only reduces paper waste, it also saves resources needed to print and deliver the items.

Supporting Renewable Energy
Many members are interested in renewable sources of energy such as wind power and solar energy. Dakota Electric helps members learn more about renewable energy by sponsoring an annual wind tour and other environmental learning projects.
Learn more about environmental learning projects
Dakota Electric understand that many members want to support renewable energy, but most do not have the resources to build their own wind farm. To help these members do their part, Dakota Electric offers programs that make purchasing wind energy affordable and provide financial assistance to members considering installing their own renewable energy system.

Recycling Programs
Some electronic products can become dangerous to the environment if members do not properly dispose of them. Dakota Electric partners with The Recycling Zone in Dakota County and Great River Energy, our wholesale power supplier, to provide recycling programs and information for CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs), electronics and appliances.
