We want our customers and community leaders to know the facts of how we use different types of temporary generation. For example, the biggest temporary generation units are designed to power substations when there is a risk of a load shed due to a lack of available generation. Since March 2021, there has been a risk of this happening more than 115 times. During Beryl, we deployed our smaller temporary generation fleet to 28 sites.

The Gulf Coast wetlands provides a habitat to millions of migratory birds, including the federally threatened Eastern Black Rail bird. Thanks to Ducks Unlimited's conservation efforts in The San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, the elusive bird's habitat is being safeguarded and we're honored to be able to support this and the organization's other impactful projects in that area.

Today, the innovation plan we filed under Minnesota’s Natural Gas Innovation Act was approved by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. As the first natural gas utility in Minnesota to submit and have an innovation plan approved, we're helping advance decarbonization efforts in the state, while aiming to help reduce emissions and create jobs. We'll be investing in made-in-Minnesota low- and zero-carbon gases like renewable natural gas and green hydrogen, as well as in emerging technologies such as networked geothermal systems and onsite carbon capture.
