ALLETE Clean Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of ALLETE, in partnership with five other entities, announced its contribution of $105,000 in grants to the Roff, Sulphur and Tishomingo school districts near the company’s 303-MW Diamond Spring wind site in Mill Creek, Oklahoma. The wind site supplies Walmart, Starbucks and Smithfield Foods with renewable energy.
The grants will be used for pandemic-related expenses related to remote learning and safety. The money will go toward computers and internet access and personal protective equipment for students and school staff. Superintendents for the school districts say the monies will make a meaningful impact.
