Starting 2025: State of Minnesota Will Oversee Energy Benchmarking
The State of Minnesota has a new benchmarking law, which is very similar to the Saint Paul benchmarking ordinance. To avoid confusion and duplication of efforts, the City of Saint Paul discontinued its ordinance in 2025. The City has allowed the State to assume responsibility for ensuring compliance.
Because of the similarities between the State law and City ordinance, Saint Paul building owners are well prepared to comply. The State will contact building owners directly to explain requirements.
Please visit the State of Minnesota website for information on the new Minnesota Large Building Energy Benchmarking Program.
For information on last year's City benchmarking program, read the City's 2024 Energy Benchmarking Report.
