The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has approved a site permit for Sherco Solar 3 project, Xcel Energy’s 250 MW solar facility in Clear Lake, Minn.
Upon completion, the projects are expected to have a 710 MW capacity.
The solar generation is set to replace much of the electricity produced by the coal-fired Sherco Generating Plant Unit 2 that ceased operations last year.
“Sherco Solar will help deliver more reliable, affordable and cleaner electricity,” says Katie Sieben, Minnesota Public Utilities Commission chair. “It’s a win for workers, consumers and the environment.”
Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in the fall and completed in 2026.
In addition to the solar facilities, the commission also previously approved a 10 MW battery pilot project at the site featuring an iron-air battery with 100-hour storage capacity.

Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.
But what is that number, roughly?
After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.
Republicans Manipulate American’s Ignorance — and it Doesn’t Take Too Much Skill
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
