Distributed Generation
Are you planning to install your own renewable energy generator? Holland Board of Public Works has a Distributed Generation (DG) program for HBPW customers who generate electric power using their own solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, energy storage system or qualified biomass resources. DG helps lower your electric bill and continue to access to the HBPW electric grid as a back up.
