Local Energy Rules

The city of Minneapolis, and utilities Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy, established the first-of-its-kind clean energy partnership on October 17th, 2014. Five years have passed, so it’s time to evaluate: does this anniversary deserve a celebration? In this bonus episode of the Local Energy Rules podcast, host John Farrell speaks with Minneapolis City Council member Cam Gordon. Farrell and Gordon, with help from Alice Madden of Community Power, talk about what the clean energy partnership has —and has not— accomplished since 2014. Listen to the full interview, read the transcript, and explore other resources below — including ILSR’s coverage of the partnership over the years. https://ilsr.org/articles/minneapolis-cep-fifth-anniversary-ler-bonus/
