Otter Tail Power has filed an integrated resource plan with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission for 2027-2041, outlining its strategy to meet electricity needs over the next 15 years, Minnesota-based Otter Tail (OTTR) said in a Monday statement.In its plan, the company has proposed to add a 50-megawatt natural gas plant and two 50-MW wind projects to help meet electricity demand and maintain system reliability, according to Otter Tail.The natural gas plant is expected to be in service in 2031-2032, while the two wind projects are expected to be in service in 2035 and 2040."The IRP also reflects projects in development following its last Resource Plan approval, including the 50-MW Solway Solar expected to be in service in 2026, the 295-MW Abercrombie Solar expected to be in service in 2028, a 75-MW battery storage facility, and additional wind generation," the statement said.The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission will evaluate the plan through a regulatory process that allows input from the public and key stakeholders.Otter Tail Power is likely to file a separate IRP in North Dakota in 2027, while South Dakota does not currently have an IRP requirement, the statement said.Price: $88.28, Change: $+0.48, Percent Change: +0.54%

Otter Tail Higher Electricity Sales Volume Boosts Q1 Revenue

US holding company Otter Tail (OTTR) Monday reported a rise in Q1 retail electricity sales volume, resulting in higher revenue for the electric segment.For the quarter ended March 31, retail electricity sales grew to 1.716 terawatt-hours from the previous year's 1.673 TWh, boosting segment revenue to $165.9 million from $149.7 million.The company said that higher rates also contributed to revenue increase. In Minnesota and South Dakota, interim rates became effective in January 2026 and December 2025, respectively. In North Dakota, updated base rates took effect in March 2025.Higher fuel recovery revenue due to increased generation from natural gas and coal-fired facilities, as well as improved investment recovery, also served as tailwinds, according to Otter Tail.The company's manufacturing segment also logged a 4% increase in sales volume in Q1, with revenue rising year over year to $89.6 million from $81.7 million."Demand improved in certain markets we serve, including the construction and recreational vehicle markets, compared to softer demand and tighter inventory management efforts during the same period last year," the firm said.Otter Tail's plastics business also posted a 7% growth in sales volume, but a 19% decrease in average sales prices dragged revenue down to $91.6 million from the prior year's $105.9 million.
