Cordia builds on 50-year legacy to power a cleaner, smarter downtown Minneapolis
As cities nationwide commit to bold sustainability targets, Minneapolis stands out as a leader in decarbonization and renewable energy adoption. Cordia is proud to play a key role in this transformation through innovative district energy solutions that support both economic growth and environmental stewardship. Our Carbon Free Chilled Water Program, launched in 2023 in partnership with the city of Minneapolis, is already making an impact. Designed to deliver chilled water with zero carbon emissions, the program currently serves two landmark facilities: the Target Center and the Minneapolis Convention Center. These buildings now benefit from a reliable, sustainable cooling source while helping the city advance its climate action goals. Chilled water for these facilities is produced at our Convention Center and Foster House plants — state-of-the-art electric chiller plants. We've enrolled their meters in Xcel Energy's Renewable Connect program, ensuring that all electricity powering the chillers is sourced from renewable energy. We've since expanded participation in Renewable Connect beyond these two plants as part of our broader strategy to meet Cordia's company-wide decarbonization goals. In 2024 alone, we produced over 4.3 million ton-hours of carbon-free chilled water — a significant milestone in advancing the city's energy resilience. A legacy of energy innovation in Minneapolis Cordia has long been embedded in the city's infrastructure. Cordia Minneapolis is one of our largest and longest-running district energy systems, operating continuously since 1972. With a central plant and eight satellite facilities, we provide both heating and cooling to more than 100 customers in a wide range of industries — from government buildings and commercial offices to hospitality and entertainment venues. Minneapolis is a dynamic, fast-growing city, and our district energy system is designed to grow alongside it. New customers can easily connect and immediately benefit from the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of a centralized energy source. This long-standing infrastructure provides the foundation for new decarbonization initiatives that are both scalable and sustainable. Dayton's plant overhaul doubles capacity Among the most significant upgrades currently underway is the full modernization of the Dayton's Chilled Water Plant, located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. As part of our broader push toward carbon-free energy, we've removed four decommissioned boilers and are replacing three chillers from the 1960s with modern, high-efficiency units. Once complete, the project will more than double the plant's current cooling capacity, enhancing our ability to serve new and existing customers across the city. Importantly, this plant is also powered by Xcel Energy's Renewable Connect, which means it will contribute to our carbon-free chilled water supply moving forward. The first new chiller started up this May, marking a key milestone in the plant's evolution and in our commitment to decarbonizing Minneapolis' energy systems. Smarter energy with artificial intelligence While infrastructure investment is critical, our sustainability efforts are equally focused on smart technology and data-driven optimization. At Cordia, we're using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor weather patterns, predict demand peaks, and make real-time decisions about equipment dispatch. These predictive tools allow us to fine-tune plant operations to reduce energy usage, costs, and greenhouse gas emissions. AI also plays a crucial role in identifying and correcting equipment issues, improving system reliability, and extending the lifespan of our infrastructure. As our system 'learns' over time, we're able to make data informed decisions, deploy resources more efficiently, and enhance the performance of our district energy network. Looking ahead Minneapolis is charting a bold course toward a carbon-neutral future — and Cordia is proud to be a partner on that journey. Whether through the expansion of our Carbon-Free Chilled Water Program, the major infrastructure upgrades at the Dayton's plant, or the integration of AI-driven efficiency tools, we are investing in the future of urban energy. With a 50+ year track record, a deep commitment to innovation, and a clear vision for sustainability, Cordia Minneapolis is ready to grow with the city, supporting its environmental goals and delivering resilient, reliable energy to the businesses and institutions that power its economy. Cordia is a leading provider of safe, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Cordia serves over 700 customers with heating, cooling, and electricity throughout the U.S. Cordia is committed to driving change toward a more resilient, sustainable energy future and empowering people and communities to reach their full potential. Learn more at Jacob Graff is a distinguished leader in the thermal and distributed energy infrastructure sector, currently serving as the regional president of the North and West for Cordia. With a wealth of expertise in orchestrating sales and operations of multiple thermal district energy systems, Graff is renowned for his strategic vision and operational prowess.
