Reconnection Policy

If the electric service has been disconnected for nonpayment of your account, the total account balance is due. A reconnection charge must be paid before service is restored.

  • $20 if service is reconnected during business hours (Monday-Friday 8:00 am-4:30 pm)
  • $100 if service is reconnected after business hours (weekends and holidays included)

Minnesota Power also reserves the right to request a deposit (equal to two months’ billing) prior to reconnection.

Minnesota Power has several payment options available. If your service has been disconnected, please call 1-800-228-4966 to verify the total balance you owe prior to making a payment.

Dropping off your payment at a Minnesota Power mail/drop box is not recommended. The payment must post to your Minnesota Power account before your utility service will be reconnected.


Minnesota Power’s parent company, ALLETE, has entered an agreement to be acquired by a partnership led by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Global Infrastructure Partners and start the process to become a private company.

This transaction will not change our operations, strategy or shared purpose and values, and it is business as usual for all of us at Minnesota Power. Learn more at www.ALLETEforward.com.
