Solar for Schools 2024 Updates

The 2023 Minnesota Legislative Session made changes to the Solar for Schools program; included were consumer protections stipulations, and funding, eligibility, and program management changes. The 2024 Program Update presentation will highlight the final programmatic changes, expected processes, and timelines for the 2024 program year, and time will be allowed for a brief Q&A period. 

The Department will begin accepting applications from newly eligible schools (e.g., schools located within Xcel Energy territory, Tribal Contract schools and Cooperative School Districts) beginning in January 2024.  

More information about the program can be found online at the Commerce’s Solar for Schools web page.
