The recent buyout of Minnesota Power–the state’s second-largest investor-owned utility serving Duluth and the Arrowhead region–by private equity interests and financial behemoth BlackRock has raised a lot of questions for Minnesotans: How did this happen? What does it mean for MP customers and our communities? What can we do now? And of course, what does this have to do with data centers???
