Xcel Energy is seeking a major expansion of wind energy in southwestern Minnesota.
The Minneapolis-based utility is asking for proposals for about 1,200 megawatts of new wind projects. That’s enough to power more than 485,000 homes in an average year.
The projects would replace some of the energy produced by the Sherco coal-fired power plant in central Minnesota, which Xcel plans to retire by 2030.
