With the increasing popularity of renewable energy, many members want to learn more about installing their own solar or wind generation system as a way to save money and protect the environment.
Grid-connected generation systems allow you to power your home or business with renewable energy.
Crow Wing Power is responsible for maintaining a safe and reliable electric grid to power the members we serve. As an increasing number of consumers install grid-connected Distributed Energy Resources (DER) systems, like solar panels or small wind turbines, we are here to assist members with their projects and protect the soundness of the grid.
If you are planning to connect to Crow Wing Power’s grid to buy and/or sell power, it is extremely important to contact us before you begin so we can facilitate a smooth process for your interconnection. It is also recommended to consult a qualified electrician to determine the costs to make any needed adjustments. Due to State, Federal, electrical code requirements and safety, certain processes must be completed before any DER being interconnected.
