And that's just the beginning! By 2035, Minnesota Power plans to add 400 MW of wind, 100 MW of storage, and over 1,000 MW of natural gas capacity to replace the Boswell Energy Center, its last coal plant.
Minnesota Power aims for 80% renewables by 2030 by adding 500 MWh of storage, acquiring 100 MW of demand response, and expanding DG and EV programs.
