Minnesota Solar Gardens

Portfolio Description

In 2013, the State of Minnesota mandated Xcel Energy to create a community solar garden program as part of Xcel’s efforts to achieve their mandated Renewable Energy Standard of 25% by 2020 and 30% by 2025. Through this program, Potentia made its first foray into the United States with its Minnesota Solar Gardens portfolio, comprised of 6 ground-mount solar projects representing over 32 MW. The projects have over 20 community subscribers, including the Minnesota Twins.
