We are pleased with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission’s recent approval of Xcel’s large load tariff, which ensures a rate class for data centers and protects ratepayers, and supports Minnesota’s clean energy goals through directing Xcel to file a separate clean energy and capacity tariff. We look forward to continuing to work with the Commission to ensure we have industry-leading opportunities to advance clean energy in the state, ensure customers are paying their appropriate share, and Minnesota households are paying fair rates.
