2003 Annual Report

Our 2003 annual report celebrates District Energy's 20 years of service to the downtown Saint Paul community.

2000 Annual Report

Saint Paul's streetscape changed dramatically during the year 2000 when construction of several major buildings was completed. We thought it would be interesting to go back to the turn of the century to look at the structures that occupied the same city blocks as five of the new buildings do today—all of which chose to connect to our heating and cooling systems.
