Windsource®
Growing the renewable energy business in Minnesota.
With Windsource your business can help increase our supply of renewable energy and meet your corporate social responsibility initiatives when you buy blocks of wind-generated electricity, equal to the electricity used in your business.
With Windsource, you choose how much wind energy you would like to support. You can choose a fixed number of Windsource blocks (100 kWh each) or choose the 100% Windsource option. Windsource is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once our wind energy supply is fully subscribed, you may be added to a waiting list.
The cost of all the Windsource energy you purchase will be based on your actual metered electricity usage billed at the base electric rate plus the Windsource Program charge, less a fuel cost credit. The Windsource rate is currently set at $3.53 per 100 kWh block. Fuel cost credits vary by rate class, but the historic net charge for Windsource business customers has averaged less than $1.00/block, or the equivalent of about $0.01/kWh.
All rates are subject to change at any time pending approval from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. Based on current rates and your individual usage, your rates may vary from the example presented above.
For more information on your usage or the Windsource rate, contact your account manager or the Business Solutions Center at 1-800-481-4700.
