In addition to broader risk mitigation activities, such as geographic distribution of wind energy resources to account for potential wind pattern changes, ALLETE’s risk management activities to manage the physical impacts of climate change include the following: + Strong planning, preparedness and mutual assistance arrangements to prepare for extreme weather events + More durable and resilient energy delivery infrastructure + Reduced reliance on consumptive and non-consumptive water usage + Maintaining and improving the natural ecosystems in which we operate All of these approaches are key components to ensure we continue to deliver safe, reliable and affordable energy to our customers and the regions we serve under a variety of climate scenarios.
