Fields and Forests Co-Op
Exciting news! Rural Renewable Energy Alliance is partnering with Solar United Neighbors the Initiative Foundation and Clean Energy Resource Teams to promote a Solar United Neighbors Co-Op in our area (Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd, and Wadena counties in Minnesota).

No obligation to purchase if you sign up. Information sessions are on the events page, if your are curious and want to learn more...
A new home with solar!
Our renewed partnership with Habitat for Humanity has come to fruition in Cohasset, MN. We assisted Itasca County Habitat for Humanity in getting solar added to this net-zero, energy-efficient home. Fresh Energy provided guidance on the home design. The solar array was funded through Minnesota Power’s Income-qualified solar program, donations from RREAL supporters, and in-kind donations from Wolf River Electric who installed the system. Misty, Rhys and their girls (pictured) helped with construction and are enjoying their new, cozy home. With solar, this fully electric home should have near zero energy costs over the course of a year.
