Shakopee
The City of Shakopee is located along the banks of the Minnesota River, just 25 minutes southwest of Minneapolis, and boasts a charming, historic downtown with a variety of businesses. In 2020 it was ranked by Money magazine as one of the country’s 50 Best Places to Live. Its convenient location has propelled both business and residential growth since the mid-90’s and that growth continues today. Known for its entertainment attractions, including Valleyfair, Canterbury Park, Mystic Lake, Murphy’s Landing and the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, Shakopee hosts more than four million tourists each year. Shakopee Public Utilities (SPU) was established in 1950 to serve this thriving community providing both water and electric services.

Green Power Choice
Green Power Choice is a voluntary program offered to MMPA customers. The program currently offers Hydropower and Wind Power purchased from the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency.
Why Purchase Green Power?
By purchasing green power you support increased reliance on sustainable energy sources, thereby reducing the burning of fossil fuels. Unlike fossil fuels, power generated from sustainable energy sources does not produce harmful emissions. Sustainable energy sources like water and wind are replaced naturally in the environment.
How Does it Work?
Hydropower and wind power are offered in blocks of 100 kilowatt hours for $1.75 per block. You can choose to purchase any combination of wind or hydro blocks. Signing up is easy! Contact your local utility for more information.
