Milestone: Minnesota Power now generates half its power from renewables Posted
Marshall Helmberger
REGIONAL Minnesota Power has become the first utility in the state to deliver 50 percent of its electrical energy to customers from renewable sources, primarily wind and hydro.
According to a statement from Allete, Minnesota Power’s parent company, the achievement highlights the success of MP’s EnergyForward strategy to transition to cleaner energy sources while meeting customer expectations for reliable and affordable electricity. The company reached the 50-percent milestone when the Nobles 2 wind project in southwestern Minnesota came online in December.
