NSP Sign Atop the Former Power Plant in Red Wing

The NSP sign marks the former Northern States Power generating station on the Mississippi River waterfront in Red Wing, Minnesota. Northern States Power built the plant as part of a riverfront industrial corridor that relied on the river for water and shipping access. The company merged with New Century Energies in 2000 to form Xcel Energy, and the old sign remains as a marker of that earlier era.
