Minnesota bill allows hydroelectric energy of any capacity to be considered an eligible energy technology.

The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to redefine "eligible energy technology" to include hydroelectric energy of any capacity, not just those under 100 megawatts. Previously, only hydroelectric facilities under 100 megawatts or those in operation before February 8, 2023, were eligible. This change broadens the scope of renewable energy technologies eligible for certain incentives or programs in Minnesota.
