Project Launch
The City launched Renewable River Falls at Riverdazzle on Nov. 29, 2019, in downtown River Falls. Participants had the opportunity to flip a switch and light up a tree in Veterans Park with all green bulbs, and City leaders and sustainability stakeholders walked in the parade.
Green Blocks Purchases
The City will reach its 100% renewable energy goal for its buildings by purchasing additional “green blocks,” which are units of 300 kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable energy – a mix of solar, wind, and biogas. The green blocks are available to River Falls Municipal Utilities customers.
River Falls residents have been voluntarily purchasing green blocks since 2004 with a current participation rate of 12%, making the City first in the state and fifth in the nation for green energy participation.
