Your development application presents an opportunity for you to benefit while helping the City of La Crosse achieve these goals.

Energy Efficiency Assistance

Your project may be a good candidate for Focus on Energy's new construction program, which offers free assistance to help you build efficiency into your design, maximize rebate opportunities for energy-efficient equipment, and drive year-over-year costs savings. The program is most beneficial when it is aligned with your design phase, so it is important to apply early in the process, before much design work has been completed.

Renewable Energy Assistance

You may want to consider integrating renewable energy with this project. If you want to install renewable energy on-site, Xcel Energy’s Net Energy Metering program is a good option to pursue. You can find out if your property might be suitable for on-site using Google’s Project Sunroof at google.com/sunroof.

If your site or building isn’t well suited for solar, or you’re not looking to invest in equipment on-site, you can subscribe to renewable energy and reduce your building’s carbon footprint. Learn more about your options at xcelenergy.com/Renewables.

Electric Vehicle Charging Assistance

You may want to consider integrating electric vehicle charging into your project’s parking. Xcel Energy offers comprehensive support and free services to business customers who are looking to offer public charging to attract EV owners.
