100 percent carbon free by 2040 standard repealed.

This bill repeals the 100 percent carbon-free electricity standard that was set for Minnesota electric utilities by 2040. It removes the legal requirement for utilities to generate or procure electricity from carbon-free sources to meet specific percentage targets of 80 percent by 2030, 90 percent by 2035, and 100 percent by 2040. The change directly affects electric utilities operating in Minnesota by eliminating the mandate to achieve these renewable energy goals. This legislative action removes the previously established timeline for carbon-free electricity generation without adding new requirements.
