We promote clean, accessible, locally-owned power in our community. Local clean energy brings shared well-being and resilience. We partner with Northern Plains and others to support regulations & laws that strengthen our ability to bring the benefits of clean energy to all.

Our Work Pays Off:  Solar Panels on our Library  
     YBCC secured a NorthWestern Energy grant for solar panels on our Park County Public library, and the panels went up in late July 2016 (they can be seen on the southwest corner of the building). The energy savings will benefit all library patrons while the real-time monitor inside provides education about solar benefits. YBCC partnered with Friends of the Library to host a celebration for the new panels in Sept. 2016.
