JOIN THE FIGHT TO END THE
XCEL ENERGY MONOPLY IN MINNESOTA

Dear Minnesota Neighbor,

The local government is extorting you.

They force you to buy overpriced electricity from Xcel Energy, a private monopoly that’s prioritizes investor profits while bleeding your wallet dry.

Here’s the scam they don’t want you to know:

• Last year Xcel made $1.74 billion in profit.

• The Minnesota government guarantees 10% returns to Xcel investors

• The Xcel CEO made over $21 million/year while you got a higher bill.

• They’re pushing a 21.2% rate hike through 2025.

• You have no other option

They want you to pay more for less so they can give more to the investors.

And here’s the truth: Other cities don’t live like this.

Compare the Options:

This means you pay up to $500+ more per year just to keep a monopoly in power and investors rich.

Where Does Your Money Really Go with Xcel?

• 40% – Actual electricity cost

• 10% – Shareholder profits

• 10% – Executive compensation

• 10% – Lobbying, PR, overhead

• The last 30%? “Grid maintenance fees” no one can explain.

There Is a Better Way.

• Cities like Austin and Sacramento have public utilities with lower rates.

• Other states allow retail energy competition and people shop for the best deal.

• Municipal utilities reinvest profits locally, not in Wall Street.

So why not Minneapolis?

Because Xcel owns more than the power lines and they own the laws, the politicians, and your silence.

But you can change that.

We’re building a movement to end the monopoly, bring energy freedom to Minneapolis, and fight for a future with:

• Lower rates

• Faster renewables

• Public control—not corporate greed
