Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative’s newest initiative, Renewable Energy Education in the Community (ReEC) is a new initiative to showcase the residential application of two renewable energy technologies, wind and photovoltaics (solar), recently installed at our headquarters in Anamosa.  These units are designed for installation in residential neighborhoods and each will provide a portion of a home’s electrical needs. 
MVEC will allow anyone to evaluate the real-time performance of these units and to use the data in a variety of education programs throughout Iowa.  Various state and local elected officials  and key leadership from state, regional and local electric cooperative’s were present for a ribbon-cutting and website introduction on September 21st.
