District Energy St. Paul is a nonprofit energy provider supplying energy to downtown Saint Paul, and the adjacent West Side neighborhood. Through district energy infrastructure, they send hot water and chilled water to customer buildings to meet all of their heating and cooling needs. The system is the largest hot water district system in North America and an industry leader in system integration featuring biomass-fired cogeneration, thermal storage, and solar thermal technology. Their team is dedicated to exceptional service, operational excellence, environmental stewardship, and community engagement.

To ensure you safety, you must wear flat, closed-toe shoes with good traction and full-length pants to fully cover your legs, preventing the risk of scrapes, lacerations or burns. Sandals, heels, open-toe shoes, and shorts or short skirts are not permitted. Full length skirts, dresses, or an abaya can create additional risks around rotating and moving equipment.

The tour will be preceded by a 30 minute presentation to introduce the technologies and our approach to energy.  The tour will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on questions. We will be going outside briefly, unless weather is limiting.
