Project e2

Sioux Valley Energy, an electric cooperative that provides power to over 20,000 homes, farms, businesses, and industries in a seven-county area of east-central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota, has initiated Project E2 (Energy Efficiency) to help educate members, contractors, and employees about the importance of energy efficiency and conservation.

Project E2 will include the construction of an affordable, energy efficient home with “off-the-shelf” technologies (systems and products that can be purchased locally) and a public awareness campaign.

The project is endorsed and supported by the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire and the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.
