Minnesota Power outlines plan to achieve 90% renewable energy and replace coal by 2035

Minnesota Power has filed its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC), outlining next steps to provide safe and reliable energy to customers while adding new resources, meeting increasing demand for energy and reducing carbon emissions.
