Minnkota Power Cooperative is an electricity provider that meets the electricity needs of rural member cooperatives in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota, powering the region's homes, farms, schools and businesses.

Minnkota Power Cooperative

Minnkota Power Cooperative is a not-for-profit electric generation and transmission cooperative headquartered in Grand Forks, N.D. Formed in 1940, Minnkota provides wholesale electric energy to 11 member-owner distribution cooperatives located in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. These members serve nearly 150,000 consumer accounts in a 34,500 square-mile area, including many of the region’s homes, farms, schools and businesses.

Minnkota is committed to delivering safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible electricity. A key source of electric generation for the Minnkota member-owners is the Milton R. Young Station, a two-unit, lignite coal-based power plant located near the town of Center, N.D. Minnkota’s electric generation portfolio includes energy purchased from three North Dakota wind farms and hydroelectricity purchased from the Garrison Dam in central North Dakota.

In order to deliver power, Minnkota operates and maintains a robust set of electric transmission infrastructure, including more than 3,400 miles of transmission line and 260 substations.

What an exciting day! We welcomed business leaders from across the state to our Grand Forks facilities yesterday to celebrate 100 years of Greater North Dakota Chamber. The event wasn’t just about honoring the past—it was about shaping the future. It was inspiring to hear more about the trends, technologies and strategies that will drive North Dakota forward.

We opened up our Grand Forks headquarters this week to many of the new faces at our member cooperatives. Through their very own version of Watts Up at Minnkota, our onboarding program, we provided a personalized introduction to our cooperative family and gave them a crash-course in the generation and transmission side of the industry.  

Thank you to everyone who joined us!
