Abstract

This conference poster presents the case of People's Energy Cooperative working with the University of Minnesota Extension's Connecting Businesses and Community program. The engagement created five takeaway objectives, which were integrated into the power cooperative's strategic plan. A Minnesota Automation Loan Participation Program was created in part because of this initiative.
