The City of Mountain Iron was awarded a 2017 Seed Grant from the Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) for Renewable Mountain Iron.   The project’s focus is on exploring city wide solar pv potential as well as the potential for on-site solar energy and achieving Net Zero Energy for 9 publicly owned buildings in the City of Mountain Iron.  In addition, the study identified and studied the feasibility of utility scale community solar arrays at 6 sites throughout the City. The City engaged paleBLUEdot llc, a Minnesota Climate and Renewable Energy consultancy to complete this project.
