Distributed Solar Energy Standard Request for Proposals

We're seeking proposals to comply with Minnesota House File 2310 as signed into law on May 24, 2023. This legislation amended Minn. Stat. § 216B.1691 to add 216B.1691(2)(h), establishing a distributed solar energy standard (DSES) for us and other investor-owned utilities in Minnesota. The DSES goal is for investor-owned utilities to serve approximately 1% of their retail electric customer energy requirements from distributed solar by the end of 2030.

We're seeking solar projects greater than 1 megawatt (MW) and equal to or less than 10 MW in size to reach this goal. As required by statute, the DSES capacity must achieve commercial operation by December 31, 2030. Projects being proposed must be located within our Minnesota service area.
