Repeals commercial building energy disclosure rules

Minneapolis file 2026-01007, before the Minneapolis City Council. Passed as of 2026-09-25.

Latest action: Published

What it does

Office and apartment owners skip energy reporting Building owners no longer have to disclose how much energy their commercial or multifamily properties use to the city.

The bigger picture

City loses data on building energy waste patterns Without this data, Minneapolis cannot track which buildings use the most energy or plan city-wide efforts to reduce waste.

What to watch

Harder to meet climate goals without tracking progress Removing the reporting rule makes it harder for the city to measure if it is meeting its own climate targets or to identify where to focus energy-saving work.

Official summary

Approving a legislative directive related to Commercial and multifamily energy disclosure repeal ordinance.
