통합 수처리 솔루션 제공업체인 U.S. 워터 서비스가 미네소타주 Duluth시 기반의 중간 규모 에너지 회사인 ALLETE와의 전략적 파트너십을 공식적으로 발표했다.

100년 이상의 운영역사를 가진 ALLETE는 Minnesota Power, Superior Water, Light & Power와 미국전파회사(ATC)를 통해 대부분 통제된 시설이다. ALLETE의 인프라와 관련 서비스 비즈니스는 ALLETE 클린 에너지, BNI, 그리고 현재 U.S. Water Services를 포함한다.

 

 

 

U.S. Water Services, Inc., a provider of integrated solutions for water treatment, has officially announced a strategic partnership with ALLETE (NYSE:ALE), a mid-sized energy company based in the city of Duluth, Minn. 

 

In business for over 100 years, ALLETE is predominantly a regulated utility through Minnesota Power, Superior Water, Light & Power and through an investment in the American Transmission Company (ATC). ALLETE's infrastructure and related services businesses include ALLETE Clean Energy, BNI and now U.S. Water Services.

 

ALLETE has a growing portfolio of wind-generating facilities, and U.S. Water will represent a key growth platform providing an integrated water management approach to a growing base of industrial and commercial customers.

 

In addition to helping grow U.S. Water's footprint in power -- a key growth segment for the future -- the strategic partnership with ALLETE will provide the company access to additional capital and resources that will ultimately enhance the value it can bring to customers.

 

Aside from a heightened ability to serve its customer base, U.S. Water customers will not see any change that will impact their day-to-day operations and can still expect to receive the same, if not better, level of service, quality and integrated offerings they have come to expect, said U.S. Water CEO Allan Bl.
