Renewable Energy at Deep Portage
Going Green
Deep Portage is committed to creating a healthier world for both planet & people, and our campus is no exception. Since 2009, we have installed multiple solar, wind, and biomass systems to help our campus align with our goal of a sustainable future. These systems have saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy costs, and the renewable energy that we generate on site—combined with certified green energy that we purchase from Crow Wing Power—makes the Deep Portage campus 100% carbon-neutral.
Our experimentation with a variety of renewable energy systems also makes us a superb resource for those who are curious about how they can take similar steps. From STEM classes with visiting schools to renewable energy public programs, we are committed to helping people discover the potential of renewable energy.

Funding for our renewable energy initiatives has come from Minnesota DEED grants, LCCMR grants and Federal DOE grants as well as many individual donors to this campaign. We are grateful for their generosity and their commitment to a sustainable future.
