The City of Stillwater has chosen paleBLUEdot, a Minnesota-based sustainability consulting firm, to lead its Solar Feasibility Assessment and Master Planning project. This initiative marks a significant step in advancing Stillwater’s renewable energy goals and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while strengthening community resilience.
Through this project, paleBLUEdot will evaluate the solar potential of up to seven City-owned facilities totaling approximately 288,000 square feet. The firm will conduct detailed solar array performance and financial modeling, identifying opportunities for cost savings, emissions reductions, and long-term energy independence. The resulting Solar Master Plan will provide the City with a clear, actionable roadmap for prioritizing and investing in on-site solar energy systems.
paleBLUEdot brings decades of expertise in renewable energy planning, greenhouse gas inventories, and community climate action. Led by project manager Ted Redmond, the firm has guided more than 90 communities across 22 states in designing climate, sustainability, and renewable energy strategies. Their portfolio includes solar feasibility assessments and renewable energy master plans for cities, counties, tribal nations, and school districts nationwide.
The Stillwater Solar Master Plan will outline site-specific solar PV designs, projected costs and savings, greenhouse gas reduction benefits, and potential financing and ownership models. Optional services also include support for procurement and implementation of initial solar projects.
With this initiative, Stillwater is positioning itself at the forefront of local energy innovation, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and building a brighter future for generations to come.
