Company recognized for supporting veterans,
service members and their families
As Veterans Day approaches, ALLETE Clean Energy, an ALLETE Inc.
(NYSE: ALE) company, is proud to announce it has earned a Yellow
Ribbon designation from the state of Minnesota.
Overseen by the Minnesota Department of Military Affairs, the
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program supports service members, veterans
and their families by connecting them with career counseling,
professional development and employment resources. The Yellow
Ribbon program is a sister program to Employer Support of the Guard
and Reserve, a Department of Defense program established to promote
cooperation between service members and their civilian
employees.
To earn a Yellow Ribbon designation from the Department of
Military Affairs, companies must build relationships with local
military leaders, identify which employees have military
connections and commit to hiring, supporting and retaining
veterans. The designation recognizes companies that honor
military-connected employees and their families, and streamline
their access to resources.
“Becoming the first clean energy independent power producer and
developer to be recognized as a Yellow Ribbon company illustrates
ALLETE Clean Energy’s commitment to our military-connected
employees, their families and the communities in which we operate,”
said ALLETE Clean Energy President Al Rudeck. “Military employees
exemplify hard work, dedication and a commitment to excellence that
we all benefit from. I thank all of our employees for their
dedication to fulfilling their dual role of military and civilian
missions.”
ALLETE and its subsidiaries have long supported
military-connected employees. Minnesota Power/ALLETE was named a
Yellow Ribbon company in 2016, and ALLETE Clean Energy used
Minnesota Power’s experience as a guide to quickly earn its
certification. In September, the North Dakota National Guard
honored BNI Energy, an ALLETE company, in a Statement of Support
for the Guard and Reserve for encouraging employment of National
Guard members, Reservists and veterans.
ALLETE Clean Energy was established in 2011 to acquire or
develop capital projects to create energy solutions by way of wind,
solar, biomass, hydro, natural gas, shale resources, clean coal
technology and other emerging innovations.
ALLETE, Inc. is an energy company headquartered in Duluth,
Minnesota. In addition to its electric utilities, Minnesota Power
and Superior Water, Light and Power of Wisconsin, ALLETE owns
ALLETE Clean Energy, based in Duluth; BNI Energy in Bismarck, North
Dakota; and U.S. Water Services in St. Michael, Minnesota, and has
an 8 percent equity interest in the American Transmission Co. More
