This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Minnesota, sorted by type and name. In 2024, Minnesota had a total summer capacity of 18.2 GW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 58,595 GWh. In 2025, the electrical energy generation mix was 25.2% wind, 23.2% coal, 21.7% nuclear, 20.8% natural gas, 5.2% solar, 1.9% biomass (including most refuse-derived fuels), 1.5% hydroelectric, and 0.5% other.
Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 484 GWh to Minnesota's electrical grid in 2026. This was about one-sixth the amount generated by the state's utility-scale photovoltaic plants. Independent power producers accounted for more than one-fifth of all generation, especially by harnessing wind in the state's southwestern region. Minnesotans have recently consumed more electricity each year than has been produced in-state.
