Minnesota
Since 1998, Minnesota has been a leader in promoting ethanol use by serving as the national pilot market. The project has resulted in the largest ethanol-based fueling network in the U.S., multiple production plants, and thousands of flexible fuel vehicles on Minnesota roads. Minnesota is also home to two nuclear power plants which provide 25% of the state’s electricity. |

A portion of the funds from the State Energy Program are allocated by formula among the states. To apply for a grant from the remaining funds, each Governor is required to write a letter to the Secretary of Energy explaining that the state will pursue policies to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy as outlined in Section 410 page 32 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
