BLAINE, Minn., Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cedar Creek Energy, a leader in solar energy solutions, proudly announces the completion of a groundbreaking solar photovoltaic array at the Superior Wisconsin Fire Department headquarters, marking it Superior's first municipal solar initiative. This project highlights Cedar Creek Energy's commitment to advancing sustainable energy and showcases the potential for municipal renewable energy solutions.

The City of Superior, inspired to shift towards sustainable energy, partnered with Cedar Creek Energy to equip the fire department's infrastructure for an eco-friendly future. The installation of a 153.1 kWh DC solar array is a major step in this direction, supporting the department's plans to expand its electric vehicle (EV) fleet, including the potential addition of an all-electric fire truck.

"Our collaboration with the Superior Fire Department embodies our vision for a sustainable future," said Rob Appelhof, CEO of Cedar Creek Energy. "This project is an example of environmental stewardship and innovation. We're honored to have contributed to this historic initiative and excited for the department's green journey ahead."
