Minnesota Rates and Pricing

Most days, electricity just works. Behind the scenes, we generate electricity, move it across the grid, maintain the system, and prepare for future energy needs.

Your electric bill supports the work required to make that possible. It helps cover the cost of producing and delivering electricity, maintaining infrastructure, and investing in the system that serves homes, businesses, and communities across our Minnesota service area.

Affordability remains an important part of those decisions. We carefully evaluate investments, manage costs responsibly, and look for ways to deliver service while keeping bills as steady and predictable as possible.

Transmission projects support growing electrical needs, deliver renewable energy, and improve system reliability.
