Welcome to Elk River Energy City!
Elk River has been known as "Energy City" since 1997 when the Minnesota Environmental Initiative chose it from over 30 other applying communities to act as a geographical focal point for the demonstration of efficient and renewable energy products, services, and technologies. We help to demonstrate the power of efficient and renewable energy. Explore our web site to find out how you can become a part of this exciting initiative.Things You Can Do
Project Conserve! (A new Energy City Pilot Project)Project Conserve is an initiative designed to demonstrate to the nation that Elk River is serious about conserving our precious natural resources. Energy City is looking for 30 willing families (on City water) to participate in a pilot project to establish money saving techniques regarding energy, solid waste, and transportation through "reduction." Participants could potentially save at least $400 in the first year without major lifestyle changes. Residents who have questions concerning the program or are interested in participating in Project Conserve should call (763) 635-1330 for more information or to request an application.
