Today’s National Electricity Day, marking the anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite experiment in 1752 that helped unlock our understanding of electricity and led to innovations like the lightning rod.

At Minnesota Power, electricity is more than energy, it’s a connection. From advancing safety and reliability to powering homes, businesses, and communities across the Northland, we’re proud to carry that legacy forward every day.

This National Electricity Day, take a moment to:

* Learn about the science of electricity
* Talk with your family about electrical safety
* Appreciate the innovation that keeps our communities powered

Here’s to the curiosity, ingenuity, and safety advancements that continue to light the way.

**Storm update:**

Our crews responded overnight and this morning to outages in the western portion of our service territory after damaging winds brought down trees and several poles. Crews worked through the night and have safely restored power to most impacted customers.

A second round of storms is forecast for this afternoon, and our lineworkers are ready to respond if additional outages occur.

You can prepare, too, by downloading the Minnesota Power app, charging your devices and keeping an outage kit handy.
