A city in Wisconsin is now the first to be 100-percent powered from natural resources.
Sun Prairie’s recent 800-thousand dollar solar panel purchase was mostly funded by grants. The City of Sun Prairie Sustainability Manager said “since we are consuming a lot of energy that we are now producing ourselves through our rooftop and ground mounted solar arrays, we paid for that investment upfront, and now we have significantly lower electricity bills.” The city has already saved an estimated 40-thousand dollars since implementing the panels last year.
