Description (excerpt):
Minnesota generated 21% of its electricity from renewable energy sources in 2015, according to figures compiled by the Minnesota Department of Commerce and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
With 3,985 megawatts (MW) of electric power coming from renewables, Minnesota is well on pace to meet or exceed its Renewable Electricity Standard of 25% of electric power coming from renewable sources by 2025, as set by the state’s Next Generation Energy Act of 2007.
