Distribution
Planned Outage Notice for Chisholm Customers
Minnesota Power will be upgrading the electric distribution system in the Chisholm area.
As part of this work, the distribution voltage will be converted to a higher operating voltage to improve the reliability and performance of the electric system. To complete this work, a planned power outage is required.
What you should know:
- Planned outages will occur in stages July 28-29 and August 11-12.
- Outages will begin at 8:00 a.m.
- Work will be conducted in stages throughout the city, so outage timing may vary by location.
- Customers affected by these planned outages will receive an automated phone call before the scheduled outage.
- If your phone number or contact information has changed, please update your Minnesota Power account before the outage dates. Login or sign-up for MyAccount at mnpower.com/MyAccount.
What to expect:
To reduce the length of the outage, Minnesota Power will have line crews from multiple service centers working throughout the community. You may see a large number of utility personnel and vehicles in your neighborhood, including within utility easements on private property.
For your safety, please stay clear of all work areas, equipment, and line crews. Our crews will be focused on completing the work safely and restoring power as quickly as possible. Please avoid approaching crews with questions while work is in progress.
We understand planned outages are inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience. These system upgrades will help us continue providing safe, reliable service to our customers.
