sherco power plant

Xcel Energy has proposed a plan to make the largest solar farm in the upper Midwest even larger.

Xcel Energy has picked up a $20 million grant for its proposed battery systems.

At the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission meeting Thursday, the commission unanimously approved Xcel Energy’s proposed sale of 348 acres of land near the Sherco Power Plant to Elk River Technologies.

Xcel Energy will reveal details on the MN Energy Connection transmission line project from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Becker Community Center Gymnasium.

Xcel Energy has partnered with Form Energy, an American technology company, to deploy an iron-air battery system at the Sherco Plant.

The Center of the American Experiment has launched a campaign to rally Minnesotans to press Xcel Energy and the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to reconsider their decision to depower Unit 2 of the Sherburne County coal-fired power plant.
