Municipal and Government Agencies
At Wolf River Electric, we proudly partner with cities, counties, townships, and government agencies across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota to design and install solar energy systems that reduce public energy costs, support sustainability goals, and strengthen community resilience.
With increasing pressure to meet clean energy standards, lower carbon emissions, and manage public budgets more effectively, municipal solar is no longer just a forward-thinking idea—it’s a financially smart, publicly supported solution. Whether you’re powering a city hall, fire station, library, wastewater treatment facility, or a portfolio of public buildings, solar energy helps municipalities take control of long-term energy costs and reinvest those savings back into the community.
We offer full-service solar solutions for government entities—from feasibility studies and utility coordination to installation, grant assistance, and ongoing system monitoring. With access to state, federal, and utility-backed incentives like the Direct Pay provision of the Inflation Reduction Act, public entities can now realize the same financial benefits once reserved for private businesses.
Save Public Funds with Guaranteed Long-Term ROIs
Government solar installations can save tens of thousands—or even millions—over the system’s lifespan. With direct pay tax credits now available to public entities under the Inflation Reduction Act, cities and counties can access up to a 30% reimbursement of solar system costs. Add in energy savings and potential grants, and municipalities can reduce financial strain while improving long-term infrastructure budgets.
Lead by Example with Clean Energy Commitment
Cities that invest in solar aren’t just saving money—they’re sending a message. Installing solar power on city-owned buildings is a highly visible demonstration of leadership in sustainability and environmental stewardship. It positions your municipality as a forward-thinking, responsible entity committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, and creating a healthier, more resilient community.
Power Public Infrastructure—From Streets to Schools
Municipal operations run on energy—and lots of it. From essential services like emergency response and water treatment to community resources like parks and libraries, energy costs can consume a large portion of a city or county’s budget. That’s why more municipalities are turning to solar energy to power public infrastructure efficiently, reliably, and affordably.
We specialize in municipal solar systems for:
- City halls and administrative offices
- Fire departments, police stations, and public works buildings
- Water treatment facilities and energy-intensive operations
- Community centers, libraries, and parks
- Transit hubs and EV fleet charging stations
Each system is engineered for maximum efficiency, low maintenance, and long-term durability—ensuring your city or county is powered for today’s needs and tomorrow’s growth.
