# Sherco
*Sherco Generating Station, Minnesota; site of a 2023 iron-air battery approval in the at-issue record.*
Sherco, short for the Sherco Generating Station, is an electric generating site in Minnesota. It appears in this record through a single at-issue entry, which concerns a battery storage project that the [[Public Utilities Commission]] approved for the site.[^1]
According to that entry, the Commission approved a 10-megawatt, 1,000-megawatt-hour iron-air battery at Sherco in July 2023. The entry states that the project was funded in part by a $35 million federal grant and $10 million in private capital. It puts the estimated cost to a residential customer at about thirty cents a month over ten years. The entry lists its own sources as one news item and one record document, from utilitydive.com and rmi.org. Neither is among this article's citable sources, so this record does not independently establish the approval date, the funding amounts, or the monthly cost estimate.[^1]
## In the at-issue record
- **Sherburne package (AI-Sherburne-085).** This entry appears in section III of the *Sherburne Energy Brief*, headed *The Tax Base Being Retired*, and is tagged "form-energy" and "thirty-cents-a-month". It reports the July 2023 approval, the $35 million federal grant, the $10 million in private capital, and the estimated thirty-cents-a-month residential cost. The entry gives the White House presidential action *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (March 2025) as its anchor. The pack does not show that the anchor document itself mentions Sherco or the battery.[^1]
## Notes
[^1]: The White House, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (March 2025). This is the anchor cited by at-issue entry AI-Sherburne-085 (*Sherburne Energy Brief*, section III), and it is the only citable URL for that entry. The battery figures come from the entry, not from this document. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/protecting-americas-bank-account-against-fraud-waste-and-abuse/
