Resource Adjustment
The Minnesota Resource Adjustment includes six costs. For more information than what you find on this page, please refer to specific rate schedules.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Minnesota Energy Adjustment includes the forecasted cost of fuel to generate electricity to serve our retail customers, forecasted transportation costs for that fuel, and forecasted costs we will incur to buy energy to supplement our own power plants, minus a base cost for energy that already is part of the per-kilowatt-hour rate you pay. Listed below are the 2020 forecasted rates for each service category approved October 31, 2019, by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission.

The Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) surcharge represents our investment in energy-efficiency programs that help our customers save energy.
The CIP surcharge is based on the total kwh our customers use.

As of January 2014 the Environmental Cost Recovery Rider (ECRR) allows our company to recover costs that we incur to meet state or federal environmental quality requirements for our electric generating facilities. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved our request for an ECRR to include the costs associated with an air-quality control system (AQCS) at Big Stone plant in South Dakota. The AQCS will allow Big Stone Plant to meet federal air quality requirements.
The ECRR factor is multiplied by our customers' monthly bills. It does not apply to any Mandatory Riders, sales tax, or any local assessments.

The Renewable Resource Adjustment allows our company to recover costs previously offset by production tax credits associated with our renewable energy facilities. The energy generated by these facilities reduces the amount of fossil fuel and purchased energy necessary to meet our customers' needs.
