Solar panel power and advanced daylighting systems provide a 23% annual reduction in the electrical power consumption for connected tenants of Mankato Place. United States Senator Norm Coleman’s southern Minnesota office, the new southeast regional offices of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, The Minnesota Workforce Center, the Minnesota Corrections Department, the office of the Public Defender, and the common areas of Mankato Place will all benefit from on site renewable energy production.
“This will be the largest solar electric system installed in southern Minnesota to date,” said Al Christensen. The combined project positions Mankato place to be the leading facility in the region in providing power to its tenants and customers through alternative energy, technology and conservation.
