Clyde takes a pro-active approach to building, owning, and maintaining its energy, communications, water, and wastewater infrastructure. Our municipally owned electric system provides reliable service at traditionally lower costs than investor-owned utilities. The City takes a multi-layer approach to power resiliency. Energy reaches the City of Clyde via two separate and independent transmission lines and the city recently commissioned 10MWs of natural gas generation with enough capacity to back up the city’s typical distribution load. When it comes to renewables, Clyde is home to a 20 acres, 3.65 MW solar array equipped with single-axis trackers. Renewable energy opportunities will continue to be investigated and vetted for additional financial and resiliency benefits.
