Minnesota HF369 delays renewable energy standards for electric utilities under certain conditions and prohibits the demolition of fossil-fuel-powered.

Minnesota HF369 amends state statutes to allow the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to modify or delay the implementation of renewable energy, solar, or carbon-free standards for electric utilities if deemed in the public interest. The commission must consider factors such as customer utility costs, environmental impacts, and reliability of the electric system. Additionally, the bill prohibits political subdivisions from issuing permits for the demolition of fossil-fuel-powered electric generating plants if the utility fails to meet specific goals, as determined by the commissioner.
