Anatomy of a Republican Clean Energy Compromise

Where: Minnesota Legislature

What are Republicans offering as a clean energy compromise?

• The republican plan is in response to utility action setting their own clean energy goals
• Ensuring the focus of energy policy is on allowing technology in energy and allowing the economy to drive innovation
• Require utilities to prioritize carbon-free resources when building new power plants or replacing retired facilities
  • Except if renewable sources are cost prohibitive
  • Applies whether the replacement is renewables alone or renewables in cooperation with another clean energy source
