SF 1455 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Large energy facility definition modification

SF 1455 modifies Minnesota's definition of "large energy facility" in statute 216B.2421, subdivision 2. The key change raises the capacity threshold for electric power plants from 50,000 kilowatts to 100,000 kilowatts to qualify as a "large energy facility." This adjustment directly affects new or expanded power generation projects meeting the higher capacity standard. The bill updates the regulatory classification for such facilities without altering other provisions or creating new requirements.
