ALLETE provides low-cost, reliable energy services in the upper Midwest and has significant real estate holdings in Florida. Duluth-based electric utility Minnesota Power, incorporated in 1906, serves 141,000 residents, 16 municipalities and some of the nation’s largest industrial customers. Among these are six taconite mines and processing plants that use large quantities of electric power. Taconite is a critical raw material used to make steel. ALLETE is also the parent company of Superior Water, Light and Power, a Wisconsin utility.

ALLETE Properties encompasses real estate operations in several Florida locations. The bulk of our property is in booming northeast Florida, where we have three major projects in various stages of development: Town Center at Palm Coast, Palm Coast Park and Ormond Crossings. ALLETE also owns BNI Coal, the lowest-cost producer of lignite in North Dakota.
