Duluth, MN, USA
Minnesota Power is an electric utility company based in Duluth, Minn., and is owned by ALLETE, Inc. We provide electricity across a 26,000-square-mile service area in northeastern Minnesota, serving approximately 145,000 residential and commercial customers, 15 municipalities and some of the nation's largest industrial customers. We rely on a mix of wind, water, coal and biomass to generate power for our customers. Minnesota Power continues to seek out more sources of renewable energy and has moved from an energy supply that was about 5 percent renewable in 2005 to one that is 50% renewable today. We're the first Minnesota utility to reach the 50% milestone. Over the next 15 years, Minnesota Power plans to expand wind and solar resources, increase its renewable energy supply to more than 70% by 2030, achieve coal-free operations at its facilities by 2035 and invest in a resilient and flexible transmission and distribution grid. a { text-decoration: none; color: rgb(70,79,235); }...
