The Blue Prairie solar project is part of an 8-project venture located in western Wisconsin and southeast Minnesota called the Mastodon Portfolio.

Working closely with three rural electric cooperatives and nine landowner hosts, OneEnergy developed the solar farms with the dual purpose of boosting rural economies while also producing reliable energy for the communities in which they are located. The Mastodon Portfolio will not only produce affordable, reliable clean energy for several decades, but also bring a $30 Million investment to the rural communities in which these projects are located.

The electricity generated by the Blue Prairie Solar is being purchased by Jackson Electric Cooperative. Jackson Electric is a nonprofit cooperative utility which aims to provide members with the best services at the lowest possible cost. The Blue Prairie Solar facility helps achieve financial savings on both energy supply and transmission expenses because the solar electricity is generated locally and does not need to be imported from a central station power plant. These savings will be passed onto the cooperative's members. The available Renewable Energy Credits are being sold separately to visionary buyers committed to ensuring their renewable energy procurement dollars are devoted to new projects that serve local communities.
