Rooftop Solar Garden Nearing Completion

To support Eden Prairie’s Climate Action Plan goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the City is partnering with Cooperative Energy Futures (CEF) to build a roof-top solar garden at the Community Center. The solar garden offers Eden Prairie residents a way to participate in clean energy production with no changes to their homes or upfront investments. Contractors finished installing solar panels this week which will be connected to the power grid in early 2024.
