Tours: Great River Energy opened their new corporate headquarters in Maple Grove on April 22, 2008. As a member-owned utility company "leading b - y example," Great River Energy has applied for LEED platinum certification for new construction from the U.S Green Building Council. If achieved, the facility will be the first platinum-certified new construction project in Minnesota! The Great River Energy headquarters is considered one of the most energy efficient office facilities in the country, consuming 50 percent less energy than state requirements and producing 15 percent renewable energy through photovoltaics and wind. The technologies used in the building also conserve 90 percent drinkable water and provide 30 percent more fresh air than a standard office building.
