AI Generated Summary
Senate Bill S.F. No. 1429 proposes a legislative change regarding the regulation of electricity sourcing in Minnesota. Under current law, electric utilities in Minnesota are required to gradually increase the proportion of their electricity sold to retail customers that comes from carbon-free sources, reaching 80-100% by the years 2030 to 2040. This bill seeks to amend the existing rules to exclude electricity that is generated outside of Minnesota from these carbon-free requirements. Essentially, if passed, this would mean that electricity imported from other states or countries does not need to meet Minnesota's carbon-free standards.
