In 2024, the Allamakee Energy District (AED) started offering free energy assessments to non-profit organizations in Allamakee County with funding from the Just Transition Fund, a project of the Rockefeller Philanthropies.
To date, AED has contacted 35 non-profit organizations in Allamakee County. It has provided detailed on-site energy assessments to 20 entities and other forms of assistance to six others. Five nonprofits in the county recently completed major energy projects.
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Lansing recently installed a 42 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) array on a non-utilized south-facing slope behind the church’s parking lot. The system is sized to generate approximately 90% of the electricity the church and the rectory consume over a typical year.
