Minnesota’s electricity market is regulated for most customers, but the state has a robust renewable energy program and allows some large industrial customers to purchase power from alternative suppliers. The major investor-owned utilities are Xcel Energy and Minnesota Power, along with Otter Tail Power and various municipal utilities and cooperatives. Natural gas distribution is provided by utilities like CenterPoint Energy, Xcel Energy, and Minnesota Energy Resources.
Businesses and residents in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, and Bloomington can work with energy brokers and consultants to analyze rates and demand charges, navigate Xcel Energy’s renewable programs, and explore community solar gardens. Brokers help industrial and large commercial customers evaluate competitive electricity supply options, negotiate contracts, and implement demand response, efficiency, and renewable strategies to control costs.
