MN: On February 22, 2007, Governor Tim Pawlenty signed into law Senate Bill 4, which mandates that 25 percent of Minnesota’s power come from renewable sources by 2025. Xcel Energy, which currently generates about half of the state’s electricity, will be required to produce 30 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2020. Sources of energy that count toward the standard include solar, wind, small hydroelectric power plants, hydrogen generated from renewable resources, and biomass from qualifying resources.
