Minnesota's Renewable Energy Standard (RES) requires 25 percent of the state's electricity to come from renewable sources by 2025. This aggressive standard will produce significant regional economic benefits in Greater Minnesota, but such rapid expansion in renewable energy production, particularly wind, will require an enormous amount of financing. Implementation of a REP would provide easier access to capital while promoting community wind development.
ARE's Mission
- The Alliance for Renewable Energy’s mission is to build support in North America for bold, proven, renewable energy policies that will rapidly increase our shift from fossil fuels to decentralized, clean, renewable energy. These policies call for 15-20 year contracts, with set rates and no limit on production, between all renewable energy producers and buyers.
