2024 Rate Proposal
We filed an electric rate proposal with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) as we continue the transition to a resilient clean-energy future through our EnergyForward strategy. The rate proposal supports our delivery of safe and reliable electricity to customers as we invest in a sustainable carbon-free future for the region and the state.
Rates are set through a transparent process with the MPUC that regulates investor-owned electric utilities in the state. The 12-18-month process includes opportunities for public input and participation, and multiple public hearings where customers can speak to an administrative law judge overseeing the process. The MPUC also accepts written comments on its website at mn.gov/puc. We also encourage customers to give feedback directly to us by emailing AskUs@mnpower.com.
