standards update which requires entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings, thus eliminating the requirement to classify the excess tax benefit and deficiencies as additional paid-in capital. Under the new guidance, an entity makes an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected forfeiture awards or account for forfeitures as they occur. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a less than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;impact to income tax expense (benefit) annually.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

The clarifying guidance will also impact other areas including the accounting for goodwill and consolidation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2017, the FASB issued additional clarifying guidance regarding circumstances where changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC&#160;718. The guidance provides specific situations that would be excluded from effects of a modification including if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification are the same before and after modification. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after adoption. This accounting guidance was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Recently Issued Pronouncements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step two of the goodwill impairment test that requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The updated guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit&#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted on a prospective basis. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. Under the revised guidance of ASC 715, an entity shall present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The guidance also allows only the service cost component of the periodic cost to be eligible for capitalization. The standard will be applied retrospectively for income statement presentation, and prospectively for capitalization of service cost components. We do not expect there to be a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements with the adoption of the updated guidance which is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers by providing a single comprehensive model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of September 30, 2017, the Company has reviewed all of its revenue streams and contracts for its regulated businesses, completing the preliminary evaluations of the impact of this guidance. Based on this review, the Company does not expect the guidance to materially affect the results of its regulated operations, which represent the majority of revenue. Our review and analysis of the Company&#8217;s energy infrastructure and related services and corporate and other businesses is in progress and we similarly do not expect the guidance to impact the results of these businesses. Management continues to evaluate the need for additional disclosures to meet the requirements of the new standard following adoption. The Company will adopt and implement the new guidance on a modified retrospective basis which requires application of standards to all contracts with customers effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative impact on contracts with performance obligations not yet satisfied as of December 31, 2017, recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

Under the revised guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a &#8220;right-of-use&#8221; asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The accounting for leases by lessors and the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from leases are not expected to significantly change as a result of the updated guidance. The revised guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the revised lease guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires entities to measure their investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the practicability exception. The practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will result in a cumulative&#8209;effect adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the fiscal year of adoption. We have performed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of this update, and based on that evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero&#8209;coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the presentation of restricted cash in the Company&#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The update requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The guidance will result in changes to the Company&#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end&#8209;of&#8209;period cash and cash equivalents totals when adopted for our fiscal year beginning January&#160;1,&#160;2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Revision of Prior Balance Sheet.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;During the first quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error related to the deferred income tax treatment associated with its Wholesale and Retail Contra AFUDC Regulatory Liability. The Company evaluated the materiality of the error and concluded that it was not material to any previously issued historical financial statements. The Company has revised its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016, by decreasing Regulatory Assets and Deferred Income Taxes by </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$29.5&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

In conformity with the current presentation, we now present </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$253.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$740.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of Operating Revenue as Operating Revenue &#8211; Utility for the quarter and nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016, respectively, as it is generated from our regulated utility operations.

In addition, the captions Fuel and Purchased Power and Cost of Sales have been updated to Fuel, Purchased Power and Gas &#8211; Utility and Cost of Sales &#8211; Non-utility. As a result, we have reclassified </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.7&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;relating to the cost of gas sales at SWL&amp;P from the historic caption Cost of Sales to Fuel, Purchased Power and Gas &#8211; Utility for the quarter ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016, and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs, which are used to measure fair value, are prioritized through the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Descriptions of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are discussed in Note 9.

Each asset and liability is classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of these assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The estimated fair value of Cash and Cash Equivalents listed on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates the carrying amount and therefore is excluded from the recurring fair value measures in the following tables.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table

The rate filing seeks a return on equity of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.25</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;percent and a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">53.81 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;equity ratio. On an annualized basis, the requested final rate increase would have generated approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$55&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in additional revenue. In December&#160;2016, Minnesota Power filed a request to modify its original interim rate proposal reducing its requested interim rate increase to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$34.7&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;from the original request of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$49 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;due to a change in its electric sales forecast. In December&#160;2016 orders, the MPUC accepted the November 2016 filing as complete and authorized an annual interim rate increase of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$34.7&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;beginning January&#160;1,&#160;2017. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February&#160;23,&#160;2017, Minnesota Power filed an additional request to further reduce its requested interim rate increase. In an order dated April 13, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s updated retail rate request resulting in a reduction in the annual interim rate increase to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$32.2&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;beginning May&#160;1,&#160;2017. As a result of working with intervenors and further developments as the rate review has progressed, Minnesota Power&#8217;s final rate request is approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$49&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on an annualized basis. A report and recommendation from the administrative law judge is scheduled to be issued in November&#160;2017, with a final decision from the MPUC expected in January 2018. Management has evaluated the need for a reserve for interim rate refunds and concluded that a reserve is not necessary as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

If the requested recovery period extension is approved, annual depreciation expense will be reduced by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$25&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. If not approved, we would expect final rates to be increased by a similar amount, subject to regulatory approval. We cannot predict the level of final rates that may be authorized by the MPUC. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Energy-Intensive Trade-Exposed (EITE) Customer Rates.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;The Minnesota Legislature enacted EITE customer ratemaking law in 2015 which established that it is the energy policy of the state to have competitive rates for certain industries such as mining and forest products. In 2015, Minnesota Power filed a rate schedule petition with the MPUC for EITE customers and a corresponding rider for EITE cost recovery. In a March&#160;2016 order, the MPUC dismissed the petition without prejudice, providing Minnesota Power the option to refile the petition with additional information or file a new petition. In June 2016, Minnesota Power filed a revised EITE petition with the MPUC which included additional information on the net benefits analysis, limits on eligible customers and term lengths for the EITE discount. The rate adjustments are intended to be revenue and cash flow neutral to Minnesota Power. The MPUC approved a reduction in rates for EITE customers in a December&#160;2016 order and subsequently approved cost recovery in an order dated April&#160;20,&#160;2017; collection of the discount was subject to the MPUC&#8217;s review of Minnesota Power&#8217;s compliance filing implementing approval of a recovery mechanism. On September&#160;29,&#160;2017, Minnesota Power informed its EITE customers that it has suspended the EITE discount due to a concern it is not revenue and cash flow neutral to Minnesota Power based on an MPUC decision at a hearing on September&#160;7,&#160;2017, as well as the interim rate reduction and upcoming decisions in its 2016 general rate case.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

No termination notice may be given for this contract prior to June&#160;30,&#160;2025. The wholesale electric service contracts with SWL&amp;P and another municipal customer are effective through October&#160;31, 2020, and June&#160;30,&#160;2019, respectively. Under the agreement with SWL&amp;P, no termination notice may be given prior to October 31,&#160;2017. The other municipal customer provided termination notice for its contract in June&#160;2016. Minnesota Power currently provides approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">29</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW of average monthly demand to this customer.

In a February&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s updated customer billing rates which allows Minnesota Power to charge retail customers on a current basis for the costs of constructing certain transmission facilities plus a return on the capital invested. As a result of the MPUC approval of the certificate of need for the GNTL in 2015, the project is eligible for cost recovery under the existing transmission cost recovery rider. Minnesota Power is funding the construction of the GNTL with a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro (see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Great Northern Transmission Line</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">), and anticipates including its portion of the investments and expenditures for the GNTL in future transmission cost recovery filings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Renewable Cost Recovery Rider.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Minnesota Power has an approved cost recovery rider in place for investments and expenditures related to Bison and the restoration and repair of Thomson. The cost recovery rider allows Minnesota Power to charge retail customers on a current basis for the costs of constructing certain renewable investments plus a return on the capital invested. Updated customer billing rates for the renewable cost recovery rider were approved by the MPUC at a hearing on September&#160;28,&#160;2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In a November&#160;2016 order, the MPUC directed Minnesota Power to attribute all North Dakota investment tax credits realized from Bison to Minnesota Power regulated retail customers. As a result of the adverse regulatory outcome, Minnesota Power recorded a regulatory liability and a reduction in operating revenue of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$15&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in the third quarter of 2016. The North Dakota investment tax credits previously recognized as income tax credits in Corporate and Other were reversed in 2016 resulting in an approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;charge to net income in the third quarter of 2016. In December 2016, Minnesota Power submitted a request for reconsideration with the MPUC. In an order dated February&#160;14,&#160;2017, the MPUC decided to reconsider its November&#160;2016 order. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At a hearing on September 28, 2017, the MPUC modified its November 2016 order to allow Minnesota Power to account for North Dakota investment tax credits based on the long&#8209;standing regulatory precedents of stand-alone allocation methodology of accounting for income taxes. As a result of the favorable regulatory outcome, Minnesota Power recorded a reduction in its regulatory liability and an increase in operating revenue of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$14 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in the third quarter of 2017. The North Dakota investment tax credits were reestablished as income tax credits in Corporate and Other, resulting in an approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;increase to net income in the third quarter of 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The stand-alone method provides that income taxes (and credits) are calculated as if Minnesota Power was the only entity included in ALLETE&#8217;s consolidated federal and unitary state income tax returns. Minnesota Power has recorded a regulatory liability for North Dakota investment tax credits generated by its jurisdictional activity and expected to be realized in the future. North Dakota investment tax credits attributable to ALLETE&#8217;s apportionment and income of ALLETE&#8217;s other subsidiaries are included in Corporate and Other operations. </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

At a hearing on October 19, 2017, the MPUC adopted a three-year pilot program to implement certain procedural reforms to the Minnesota utilities&#8217; automatic fuel adjustment clause (FAC) for fuel and purchased power. The decision, subject to an MPUC order, would change the method of accounting for all Minnesota electric utilities to a monthly budgeted, forwarded&#8209;looking FAC with a subsequent prudence review and true-up to actual allowed costs on an annual basis. The annual budget projection filing would also include an adjustment to the base cost of fuel. The MPUC will seek input from the utilities and other stakeholders on the detailed implementation steps and transition accounting needed to adopt the change in regulatory accounting method from the current FAC. Transition considerations would need to include the recovery of the current regulatory asset for deferred fuel costs consistent with other regulatory accounting transition precedents for similar matters. Other details of the transition including budgeting methodology and approval, tracker accounting for the differences between actual costs and the budgeted amounts, and the annual true-up and collection or refund process to customers will be determined by the MPUC upon consideration of each utility&#8217;s compliance filings. Based on the discussion at the October&#160;19,&#160;2017 hearing, this pilot is not expected to start until mid-2019. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">2016 Wisconsin General Rate Case. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2016, SWL&amp;P filed a rate increase request with the PSCW requesting an average increase of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3.1 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for retail customers.

The 2015 IRP also contained steps in Minnesota Power&#8217;s </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;strategic plan including the economic idling of Taconite Harbor Units 1 and 2 which occurred in September 2016, the ceasing of coal-fired operations at Taconite Harbor in 2020, and the addition of between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">200</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;MW and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">300</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW of natural gas-fired generation in the next decade. In a July&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s 2015 IRP with modifications. The order accepted Minnesota Power&#8217;s plans for Taconite Harbor, directed Minnesota Power to retire Boswell Units 1 and 2 no later than 2022, required an analysis of generation and demand response alternatives to be filed with a natural gas resource proposal, and required Minnesota Power to conduct request for proposals for additional wind, solar and demand response resource additions subject to further MPUC approvals.

In 2015, a certificate of need was approved by the MPUC. Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Transmission Cost Recovery Rider</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020. Total project cost in the U.S., including substation work, is estimated to be between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$560 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$710&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, of which Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion is expected to be between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$300 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$350 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">; the difference will be recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro as contributions in aid of construction. Total project costs of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$66.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;have been incurred through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, of which </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$36.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;has been recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Manitoba Hydro must obtain regulatory and governmental approvals related to a new transmission line in Canada.

On April 3, 2017, Minnesota Power submitted its 2016 CIP consolidated filing, which detailed Minnesota Power&#8217;s CIP program results and requested a CIP financial incentive of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$5.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;based upon MPUC procedures. In an order dated June 22, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s CIP consolidated filing, including the requested CIP financial incentive which was recorded as revenue and as a regulatory asset in the second quarter of 2017. The approved financial incentive will be recovered through customer billing rates in 2017 and 2018. In 2016, the CIP financial incentive of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;was recognized in the third quarter. CIP financial incentives are recognized in the period in which the MPUC approves the filing.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">MISO Return on Equity Complaints.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In 2013, several customer groups located within the MISO service area filed complaints with the FERC requesting, among other things, a reduction in the base return on equity used by MISO transmission owners, including ALLETE and ATC, to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">9.15 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. In 2015, a federal administrative law judge ruled on the complaint proposing a reduction in the base return on equity to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.32 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.82 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;including an incentive adder for participation in a regional transmission organization. In September 2016, the FERC issued an order affirming the administrative law judge&#8217;s recommendation. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2015, an additional complaint was filed with the FERC seeking an order to further reduce the base return on equity to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">8.67</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;percent. In June 2016, a federal administrative law judge ruled on the additional complaint proposing a further reduction in the base return on equity to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">9.70 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.20 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;including an incentive adder for participation in a regional transmission organization, subject to approval or adjustment by the FERC.

At least </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;percent of the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.5 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;mandate must be met by solar energy generated by or procured from solar photovoltaic devices with a nameplate capacity of 40 kW or less. In a February 2016 order finalized in December 2016, the MPUC approved Camp Ripley, a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW utility scale solar project at the Camp Ripley Minnesota Army National Guard base and training facility near Little Falls, Minnesota, as eligible to meet the solar energy standard and for current cost recovery. Camp Ripley was completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. In a July 2016 order, the MPUC approved a community solar garden project in northeastern Minnesota, which is comprised of a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW solar array to be owned and operated by a third party with the output purchased by Minnesota Power and a 40 kW solar array that is owned and operated by Minnesota Power. Minnesota Power believes Camp Ripley and the community solar garden project will meet approximately one-third of the overall mandate. Additionally, in an order dated February 10, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s proposal to increase the amount of solar rebates available for customer-sited solar installations and recover costs of the program through Minnesota Power&#8217;s renewable cost recovery rider. This proposal to incentivize customer&#8209;sited solar installations is expected to meet a portion of the required mandate related to solar photovoltaic devices with a nameplate capacity of 40&#160;kW or less. </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

The Notes were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to institutional accredited investors. The Notes bear interest at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3.11 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and mature on June 1, 2027. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December&#160;1,&#160;2017. ALLETE has the option to prepay all or a portion of the Notes at its discretion, subject to a make-whole provision. The Notes are subject to additional terms and conditions which are customary for these types of transactions. Proceeds from the sale of the Notes may be used to redeem debt, fund corporate growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On August 25, 2017, ALLETE entered into a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$40.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;term loan agreement (Term Loan). The Term Loan is an unsecured, single draw loan that is due on August 25, 2020, and may be prepaid at any time subject to a make-whole provision.

In addition, our lines of credit and letters of credit supporting certain long-term debt arrangements contain financial covenants. Our compliance with financial covenants is not dependent on debt ratings. The most restrictive financial covenant requires ALLETE&#160;to maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as the amounts are calculated in accordance with the respective long-term debt arrangements) of less than or equal to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">0.65 to 1.00</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, measured quarterly.

Failure to meet this covenant would give rise to an event of default if not cured after notice from the lender, in which event ALLETE may need to pursue alternative sources of funding. Some of ALLETE&#8217;s debt arrangements contain &#8220;cross-default&#8221; provisions that would result in an event of default if there is a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that would result in an acceleration of payments due.

Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See Note 6. Regulatory Matters.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020.

A number of regulatory changes to the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and various waste management requirements have recently been promulgated by both the EPA and state authorities. Minnesota Power&#8217;s facilities are subject to additional regulation under many of these regulations. In response to these regulations, Minnesota Power is reshaping its generation portfolio over time to reduce its reliance on coal, has installed cost-effective emission control technology, and advocates for sound science and policy during rulemaking implementation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We consider our businesses to be in substantial compliance with currently applicable environmental regulations and believe all necessary permits have been obtained. We anticipate that with many state and federal environmental regulations finalized, or to be finalized in the near future, potential expenditures for future environmental matters may be material and may require significant capital investments. Minnesota Power has evaluated various environmental compliance scenarios using possible outcomes of environmental regulations to project power supply trends and impacts on customers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We review environmental matters on a quarterly basis. Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. Accruals are adjusted as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. Costs related to environmental contamination treatment and cleanup are expensed unless recoverable in rates from customers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Air.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;The electric utility industry is regulated both at the federal and state level to address air emissions.

Minnesota Power received an additional NOV in 2011 alleging that two projects undertaken at Rapids Energy Center in 2004 and 2005 should have been reviewed under the NSR requirements and that the Rapids Energy Center&#8217;s Title V permit was violated. Minnesota Power reached a settlement with the EPA regarding these NOVs and entered into a Consent Decree which was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota in&#160;2014. The Consent Decree provided for, among other requirements, more stringent emissions limits at all affected units, the option of refueling, retrofits or retirements at certain small coal units, and the addition of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">200</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW of wind energy. Provisions of the Consent Decree require that, by no later than December 31, 2018, Boswell Units 1 and 2 must be retired, refueled, repowered, or emissions rerouted through existing emission control technology at Boswell. In October 2016, Minnesota Power announced that Boswell Units 1 and 2 will be retired in 2018 as part of its </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">strategic plan.

These allowances are allocated to facilities from each state&#8217;s annual budget, and can be bought and sold.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Minnesota Power&#8217;s generation levels and emission rates in 2015 and 2016 were below its allowances.

The EPA published the final MATS rule in the Federal Register in&#160;2012, addressing such emissions from coal-fired utility units greater than 25 MW. In the final MATS rule, the EPA established categories of HAPs, including mercury, trace metals other than mercury, acid gases, dioxin/furans and organics other than dioxin/furans. The EPA also established emission limits for the first three categories of HAPs and work practice standards for the remaining categories. Affected sources were required to be in compliance with the rule by April 2015, or April 2016 if granted an extension. Construction on the project to implement the Boswell Unit 4 mercury emissions reduction plan was completed in 2015. Investments and compliance work previously completed at Boswell Unit 3, including emission reduction investments completed in 2009, meet the requirements of the MATS rule. The conversion of Laskin Units&#160;1 and 2 to natural gas in 2015 positioned those units for MATS compliance. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded an earlier U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decision on the MATS rule. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was unreasonable for the EPA to deem cost of compliance irrelevant in determining that regulation of emissions of hazardous air pollutants from power plants was &#8220;appropriate and necessary&#8221; under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The MATS rule remains in effect until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit acts on the remand. In 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected a motion by utilities and states to vacate the MATS rule, instead ordering the rule to remain in effect while the EPA completes its review. In April 2016, the EPA announced its determination that the MATS rule is appropriate and necessary, when also considering cost of compliance. The outcome of these proceedings is not expected to have a material impact on Minnesota Power generation due to emission reduction obligations under the Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act and the Consent Decree.

The Boswell Unit 4 environmental upgrade discussed above (see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">) fulfills the requirements of the Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A final rule issued by the EPA for Industrial Boiler MACT became effective in 2012. Major existing sources had until January 2016, to achieve compliance with the final rule and July 2016, to perform initial compliance demonstrations. Minnesota Power&#8217;s Hibbard Renewable Energy Center and Rapids Energy Center are subject to this rule and are currently in compliance. Compliance consisted largely of adjustments to our operating practices; therefore, the costs for complying with the final rule were not material.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;The EPA is required to review the NAAQS every five years. If the EPA determines that a state&#8217;s air quality is not in compliance with the NAAQS, the state is required to adopt plans describing how it will reduce emissions to attain the NAAQS. These state plans often include more stringent air emission limitations on sources of air pollutants than the NAAQS. Four NAAQS have either recently been revised or are currently proposed for revision, as described below.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Ozone NAAQS. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The EPA has proposed more stringent control related to emissions that result in ground level ozone. In 2010, the EPA proposed to revise the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb) and to adopt a secondary standard for the protection of sensitive vegetation from ozone-related damage. In 2015, the EPA published the final rule in the Federal Register revising the eight-hour ozone standard to 70 ppb with a secondary standard also set at 70 ppb. All areas of Minnesota currently meet the new standard based on the most recent available ambient monitoring data; however, some areas in the metropolitan Twin Cities and southwest portion of the state are close to exceeding the standard. As a result, voluntary efforts to reduce ozone continue in the state. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">No</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;additional costs for compliance are anticipated at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Particulate Matter NAAQS. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The EPA finalized the Particulate Matter NAAQS in&#160;2006.

The rule sets emissions thresholds and exemptions for facilities that trigger modeling requirements. In January 2016, the MPCA informed the EPA of the Minnesota sources subject to the rule, confirming that Boswell and Taconite Harbor are the only Minnesota Power generating facilities subject to the DRR.

The Tailoring Rule establishes permitting thresholds required to address GHG emissions for new facilities, existing facilities that undergo major modifications and other facilities characterized as major sources under the Clean Air Act&#8217;s Title V program. For our existing facilities, the rule does not require amending our existing Title&#160;V operating permits to include GHG requirements; however, GHG requirements may be added to our existing Title&#160;V operating permits by the MPCA as these permits are renewed or amended.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In late 2010, the EPA issued guidance to permitting authorities and affected sources to facilitate incorporation of the Tailoring Rule permitting requirements into the Title V and PSD permitting programs. The guidance stated that the project-specific, top&#8209;down Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determination process used for other pollutants will also be used to determine BACT for GHG emissions. Through sector-specific white papers, the EPA also provided examples and technical summaries of GHG emission control technologies and techniques the EPA considers available or likely to be available to sources. It is possible that these control technologies could be determined to be BACT on a project-by-project basis.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the aspect of the Tailoring Rule that established higher permitting thresholds for GHG than for other pollutants subject to PSD; however, the court also upheld the EPA&#8217;s ability to require BACT for GHG from sources already subject to regulation under PSD. Minnesota Power&#8217;s coal-fired generating facilities are already subject to regulation under PSD, so we anticipate that ultimately PSD for GHG will apply to our facilities, but the timing of the promulgation of a replacement for the Tailoring Rule is uncertain. The PSD applies to existing facilities only when they undertake a major modification that increases emissions. At this time, we are unable to predict the compliance costs that we might incur.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In October 2016, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to revise its PSD and Title V regulatory provisions concerning GHG emissions. In this proposed rule, the EPA proposes to amend its regulations to clarify that a source&#8217;s obligation to obtain a PSD or Title V permit is triggered only by non-GHG pollutants. If the PSD or Title V permitting requirements are triggered by non-GHG, NSR pollutants, then these programs will also apply to the source&#8217;s GHG emissions. The proposed rule, as currently written, is not expected to have a material impact on the Title V permitting for current operations. It is uncertain how the Title V permitting requirements will be affected by the March 28, 2017, Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

The EPA issued the final CPP in 2015, together with a proposed federal implementation plan and a model rule for emissions trading. Petitions for review of the rule were filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In February&#160;2016, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order staying the effectiveness of the rule until after the appellate court process is complete. In September 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia heard oral arguments and is currently deliberating. The EPA is precluded from enforcing the CPP while the U.S. Supreme Court stay is in force; however, the MPCA has been holding a series of meetings on the CPP for educational and planning purposes in the interim. Minnesota Power has been actively involved in these MPCA meetings, and is closely monitoring the appeals process.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If upheld, the CPP would establish uniform CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;emission performance rates for existing fossil fuel-fired and natural gas-fired combined cycle generating units, setting state-specific goals for CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;emissions from the power sector. State goals were determined based on CPP source-specific performance emission rates and each state&#8217;s mix of power plants. The EPA maintains such goals are achievable if a state undertakes a combination of measures across its power sector that constitutes the EPA&#8217;s guideline for a Best System of Emission Reductions (BSER). BSER is comprised of three building blocks: 1) improved fossil fuel power plant efficiency, 2) increased reliance on low-emitting power sources by generating more electricity from existing natural gas combined-cycle units, and 3) building more zero- and low-emitting power sources, including renewable energy. States may also choose to include avoided CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;emissions from customer energy efficiency measures for credit towards meeting state goals. The regulatory review initiated by the March 28, 2017, Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth is directed to include Section 111(b) and 111(d) CPP provisions. In addition, the EPA has filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to hold CPP-related litigation in abeyance while the EPA is reviewing the rule. On October 10, 2017, the EPA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking, proposing to repeal the CPP. Minnesota Power continues to monitor the status of the CPP and related matters.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">State goals under the CPP are expressed as both mass-based and rate-based, and include interim goals to be met over the years 2022 through 2029, as well as a final goal to be met in 2030 and thereafter. Under the original schedule for the CPP, each state would have been required to develop a SIP by September 2016, or by September 6, 2018, if granted an extension. Due to the U.S. Supreme Court order staying the effectiveness of the CPP, those SIP submittal dates are not currently in effect. If the CPP is upheld at the completion of the appellate court process, all of the CPP regulatory deadlines are expected to be reset based on the length of time that the appeals process takes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In developing its plan, a state may choose to meet either the mass-based or the rate-based goals. Minnesota Power is currently evaluating the CPP as it relates to the State of Minnesota as well as its potential impact on the Company and is actively discussing potential compliance scenarios with regulatory agencies and in public stakeholder meetings. Minnesota has already initiated several measures consistent with those called for under the CAP and CPP. Minnesota Power is implementing its </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;strategic plan that provides for significant emission reductions and diversifying its electricity generation mix to include more renewable and natural gas energy. (See Note 6. Regulatory Matters.) </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are unable to predict the GHG emission compliance costs we might incur; however, the costs could be material. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Water.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;The Clean Water Act requires NPDES permits be obtained from the EPA (or, when delegated, from individual state pollution control agencies) for any wastewater discharged into navigable waters. We have obtained all necessary NPDES permits, including NPDES storm water permits for applicable facilities, to conduct our operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Clean Water Act - Aquatic Organisms.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In 2011, the EPA announced proposed regulations under Section&#160;316(b) of the Clean Water Act that set standards applicable to cooling water intake structures for the protection of aquatic organisms. The proposed regulations would require existing large power plants and manufacturing facilities that withdraw greater than 25&#160;percent of water from adjacent water bodies for cooling purposes, and have a design intake flow of greater than 2 million gallons per day, to limit the number of aquatic organisms that are impacted by the facility&#8217;s intake structure or cooling system. The Section 316(b) rule was effective in 2014. The Section 316(b) standards will be implemented through NPDES permits issued to the covered facilities with compliance timing dependent on individual NPDES renewal schedules. No NPDES permits for Minnesota Power generating facilities have been re-issued containing Section 316(b) requirements since the final rule was published, so at this time we are unable to determine the final cost of compliance. Should the MPCA require significant modifications to Minnesota Power&#8217;s intake structures, a preliminary assessment indicates costs of compliance up to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$15 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;over the next five years. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

On April 12, 2017, the EPA published in the Federal Register the postponement of certain compliance deadlines and formally announced that it would reconsider the final ELG rule.&#160;Under the ELG rule schedule, required compliance activity deadlines could have been in place as soon as November 1, 2018. These deadlines could have included prescriptive wastewater treatment technology installation, as well as a ban on bottom ash contact water discharges.&#160;If the EPA&#8217;s reconsideration results in the rule being revised or rescinded, the authority to regulate bottom ash transport water and FGD wastewater would fall under existing Effluent Guidelines Limits and state resource agency purview. On September 13, 2017, the EPA formally announced a two-year postponement of the ELG compliance date to November 1, 2020, while the agency reconsiders bottom ash transport water and FGD wastewater provisions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are evaluating the final ELG rule&#8217;s potential impact on Minnesota Power&#8217;s operations, primarily at Boswell. Boswell currently discharges bottom ash contact water through its NPDES permit, and also has a closed-loop FGD system that does not currently discharge, but may do so in the future. Under the final ELG rule, bottom ash discharge would not be allowed and bottom ash contact water would either need to be re-used in a closed-loop process, routed to a FGD scrubber, or the bottom ash handling system would need to be converted to a dry process. If the FGD wastewater is discharged in the future, it would require additional wastewater treatment. Efforts have been underway at Boswell for several years to reduce the amount of water discharged and evaluate potential re-use options in its plant processes. Additional efforts are underway to determine if land application of certain wastewater streams under a state disposal system may be feasible.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At this time, we cannot estimate what compliance costs we might incur related to these or other potential future water discharge regulations; however, the costs could be material, including costs associated with retrofits for bottom ash handling, pond dewatering, pond closure, and wastewater treatment and reuse. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Solid and Hazardous Waste.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 regulates the management and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.

The rule includes additional requirements for new landfill and impoundment construction as well as closure activities related to certain existing impoundments. Costs of compliance for Boswell and Laskin are expected to occur primarily over the next 10 years and be between approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$65 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$100 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Recently, the EPA has indicated to Minnesota Power that the Taconite Harbor landfill is a CCR unit, based on the EPA&#8217;s interpretation of the CCR rule language. Minnesota Power has agreed to post the required CCR information for the Taconite Harbor landfill on Minnesota Power&#8217;s website while the CCR issue is resolved. Minnesota Power continues to work on minimizing costs through evaluation of beneficial re-use and recycling of CCR and CCR-related waters. On September 13, 2017, the EPA announced its intention to formally reconsider the CCR rule. Compliance costs, if any, for CCR at Taconite Harbor cannot be estimated at this time. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="s9042ADB7E49641ACBA20E1D004A12FCB"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Other Matters.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ALLETE Clean Energy. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE Clean Energy&#8217;s wind energy facilities have PSAs in place for their entire output and expire in various years between 2018 and 2032.

Net income at Minnesota Power decreased $1.1 million after-tax primarily due to higher depreciation, interest, and taxes other than income taxes, lower FERC formula-based rates, lower financial incentives under the Minnesota conservation improvement program, lower sales to other power suppliers as a result of higher industrial sales and lower market prices, and lower kWh sales to residential, commercial and municipal customers due to milder temperatures in 2017. These decreases were mostly offset by the implementation of interim retail rates on January 1, 2017, and higher industrial kWh sales. Our equity earnings in ATC for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, increased $1.4 million after-tax primarily due to a higher investment balance and period over period changes in ATC&#8217;s estimate of a refund liability related to MISO return on equity complaints.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ALLETE Clean Energy</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;net income attributable to ALLETE was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$11.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the same period in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Net income increased primarily due to lower operating and maintenance expenses, and lower interest expense. Net income in 2016 included an allocation of earnings to a non-controlling interest in the limited liability company that owns the Condon wind energy facility, which was acquired by ALLETE Clean Energy in April&#160;2016.

Net income in 2016 included an adverse impact of approximately $9 million after-tax for the regulatory outcome of the November 2016 MPUC order.

The increase from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Regulated Operations - Income Tax Expense</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.) We expect our annual effective tax rate in 2017 to be higher than 2016 due to higher pre-tax income. The effective rate deviated from the combined statutory rate of approximately 41 percent primarily due to production tax credits. (See Note&#160;9. Income Tax Expense.) The estimated annual effective tax rate can differ from what a quarterly effective tax rate would otherwise be on a stand-alone basis, and this may cause quarter to quarter differences in the timing of income taxes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="sE0E22FC14BCEF926E293E1D02541D060"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(See Note 14.

If U.S. Water Services fails to meet expected cash flow forecasts by a nominal margin or there is an increase in interest rates that has a negative impact on the discount rate used in the Company&#8217;s valuation under the income approach, the results of our future tests could result in an impairment of goodwill; our next annual impairment test will occur in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Keeping the cost of energy production competitive enables Minnesota Power to effectively compete in the wholesale power markets and minimizes retail rate increases to help maintain customer viability. As part of maintaining cost competitiveness, Minnesota Power intends to reduce its exposure to possible future carbon and GHG legislation by reshaping its generation portfolio, over time, to reduce its reliance on coal. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">) We will monitor and review proposed environmental regulations and may challenge those that add considerable cost with limited environmental benefit.

The rate filing seeks a return on equity of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.25</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;percent and a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">53.81 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;equity ratio.

Minnesota Power provides electric service to six taconite facilities capable of producing up to approximately 41 million tons of taconite pellets annually. Taconite pellets produced in Minnesota are primarily shipped to North American steel making facilities that are part of the integrated steel industry. Steel produced from these North American facilities is used primarily in the manufacture of automobiles, appliances, pipe and tube products for the gas and oil industry, and in the construction industry. Historically, less than five percent of Minnesota taconite production is exported outside of North America. Minnesota Power also provides electric service to three iron concentrate facilities capable of producing up to approximately 4&#160;million tons of iron concentrate per year. Iron concentrate is used in the production of taconite pellets. These iron concentrate facilities are owned in whole, or in part, by ERP Iron Ore and are not currently operating. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">ERP Iron Ore / Magnetation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">There has been a general historical correlation between U.S. steel production and Minnesota taconite production. The American Iron and Steel Institute, an association of North American steel producers, reported that U.S. raw steel production operated at approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">75 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of capacity during the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">first nine months of 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">72 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">first&#160;nine&#160;months&#160;of&#160;2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The World Steel Association, an association of over 160 steel producers, national and regional steel industry associations, and steel research institutes representing approximately 85 percent of world steel production, projected U.S. steel consumption in 2017 will increase by approximately 5&#160;percent compared to 2016. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Minnesota Power&#8217;s taconite customers may experience annual variations in production levels due to such factors as economic conditions, short-term demand changes or maintenance outages. We estimate that a one million ton change in Minnesota Power&#8217;s taconite customers&#8217; production would impact our annual earnings per share by approximately $0.03, net of expected power marketing sales at current prices. Changes in wholesale electric prices or customer contractual demand nominations could impact this estimate. Minnesota Power proactively sells power in the wholesale power markets that is temporarily not required by industrial customers to optimize the value of its generating facilities. Long-term reductions in taconite production or a permanent shut down of a taconite customer may lead Minnesota Power to file a general rate case to recover lost revenue. </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

In 2015, USS Corporation temporarily idled its Minnesota Ore Operations - Keetac plant in Keewatin, Minnesota, and a portion of its Minnesota Ore Operations - Minntac plant in Mountain Iron, Minnesota. These actions were due to high inventory levels and ongoing adjustment of its steel producing operations throughout North America. Global influences in the market, including a higher level of imports, unfairly traded products and reduced steel prices, were cited as having an impact. USS Corporation returned its Minntac plant to full production in 2015, and in the first quarter of 2017, USS Corporation restarted its Keetac plant.

In January 2016, Magnetation idled its Plant 2 facility in Bovey, Minnesota. In October&#160;2016, the bankruptcy court approved plans to idle Magnetation&#8217;s Plant 4 facility near Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and its pellet plant in Reynolds, Indiana, as well as terminate Magnetation&#8217;s pellet purchase agreement with AK Steel Corporation. The company subsequently idled the facilities and stated it was preserving the plants and their value for a potential buyer. On January&#160;30,&#160;2017, ERP Iron Ore purchased substantially all of Magnetation&#8217;s assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement approved by the bankruptcy court.

PolyMet is planning to start a new copper-nickel and precious metal (non-ferrous) mining operation in northeastern Minnesota. In 2015, PolyMet announced the completion of the final EIS by state and federal agencies, which was subsequently published in the Federal Register and Minnesota Environmental Quality Board Monitor. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued its Record of Decision in March 2016, finding the final EIS adequate. The 30-day period allowed by law to challenge the Record of Decision passed without any legal challenges being filed. In July 2016, PolyMet submitted applications for water-related permits with the State of Minnesota, and in August 2016, an application for an air quality permit was submitted to the MPCA. In November 2016, PolyMet submitted a state permit to mine application to the DNR detailing its operational plans for the mine. The final EIS also requires Records of Decision by the federal agencies, which are expected in 2017, before final action can be taken on the required federal permits to construct and operate the mining operation. On January 9, 2017, the U.S. Forest Service signed the Final Record of Decision authorizing a land exchange with PolyMet, which upon completion of title transfer will result in PolyMet obtaining surface rights to land needed to develop its mining operation. Minnesota Power could supply between 45&#160;MW and 50 MW of load under a ten-year power supply contract with PolyMet that would begin upon start&#8209;up of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="s06B421C10A93A4927B51E1D02713B1DA"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">EnergyForward.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Minnesota Power is executing </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, a strategic plan for assuring reliability, protecting affordability and further improving environmental performance.

In a February 2016 order finalized in December 2016, the MPUC approved Camp Ripley, a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW utility scale solar project at the Camp Ripley Minnesota Army National Guard base and training facility near Little Falls, Minnesota, as eligible to meet the solar energy standard and for current cost recovery. Camp Ripley was completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. In a July 2016 order, the MPUC approved a community solar garden project in northeastern Minnesota, which is comprised of a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW solar array to be owned and operated by a third party with the output purchased by Minnesota Power and a 40 kW solar array that is owned and operated by Minnesota Power. Minnesota Power believes Camp Ripley and the community solar garden project will meet approximately one-third of the overall mandate. Additionally, in an order dated February 10, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s proposal to increase the amount of solar rebates available for customer-sited solar installations and recover costs of the program through Minnesota Power&#8217;s renewable cost recovery rider. This proposal to incentivize customer&#8209;sited solar installations is expected to meet a portion of the required mandate related to solar photovoltaic devices with a nameplate capacity of 40&#160;kW or less. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Minnesota Power has approval for current cost recovery of investments and expenditures related to compliance with the Minnesota Solar Energy Standard.

This agreement is subject to MPUC approval of the construction of a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">525</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">550</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MW combined&#8209;cycle natural gas-fired generating facility which will be jointly owned by Dairyland Power Cooperative and a subsidiary of ALLETE and a wind energy facility. (See Note&#160;6. Regulatory Matters.) The agreement provides for the purchase of output from the facility at fixed energy prices. There are no fixed capacity charges, and Minnesota Power will only pay for energy as it is delivered.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Manitoba Hydro</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Minnesota Power has five long-term PPAs with Manitoba Hydro. The first PPA expires in May 2020. Under this agreement, Minnesota Power is purchasing 50 MW of capacity and the energy associated with that capacity. Both the capacity price and the energy price are adjusted annually by the change in a governmental inflationary index. Under the second PPA, Minnesota Power is purchasing surplus energy through April 2022. This energy-only agreement primarily consists of surplus hydro energy on Manitoba Hydro&#8217;s system that is delivered to Minnesota Power on a non-firm basis.&#160;The pricing is based on forward market prices. Under this agreement, Minnesota Power will purchase at least one million MWh of energy over the contract term.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2011, Minnesota Power and Manitoba Hydro signed a third PPA.

The agreement is subject to construction of additional transmission capacity between Manitoba and the U.S., along with construction of new hydroelectric generating capacity in Manitoba. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Transmission &#8211; Great Northern Transmission Line</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.)

As a result, Minnesota Power and Manitoba Hydro proposed construction of the GNTL, an approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">220</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">-mile </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">500</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">-kV transmission line between Manitoba and Minnesota&#8217;s Iron Range in order to strengthen the electric grid, enhance regional reliability and promote a greater exchange of sustainable energy.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2015, a certificate of need was approved by the MPUC. Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See Note 6. Regulatory Matters.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020.

As opportunities arise, we plan to make additional investments in ATC through general capital calls based upon our pro rata ownership interest in ATC.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="s2EFFF15BE595FEA2DB82E1D027886858"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Energy Infrastructure and Related Services.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="s1580A26E4DF652336D10E1D027B97E2D"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ALLETE Clean Energy. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE Clean Energy focuses on developing, acquiring, and operating clean and renewable energy projects. ALLETE Clean Energy currently owns and operates, in four states, approximately 535 MW of nameplate capacity wind energy generation that is from PSAs of various durations. In addition, ALLETE Clean Energy constructed and sold a 107&#160;MW wind energy facility in 2015. On January 3, 2017, ALLETE Clean Energy announced that it will develop another wind energy facility of up to 50 MW after securing a 25-year PSA with Montana-Dakota Utilities. The PSA includes an option for Montana-Dakota Utilities to purchase the facility upon completion; construction is expected to begin in 2018. On March&#160;16,&#160;2017, ALLETE Clean Energy announced it will build, own and operate a separate 100 MW wind energy facility pursuant to a 20-year PSA with Northern States Power; construction is expected to begin in late 2018, subject to regulatory approval.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE Clean Energy believes the market for renewable energy in North America is robust, driven by several factors including environmental regulation, tax incentives, societal expectations and continual technology advances. State renewable portfolio standards, and state or federal regulations to limit GHG emissions are examples of environmental regulation or public policy that we believe will drive renewable energy development.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE Clean Energy&#8217;s strategy includes the safe, reliable, optimal and profitable operation of its existing facilities. This includes a strong safety culture, the continuous pursuit of operational efficiencies at existing facilities and cost controls. ALLETE Clean Energy generally acquires facilities in liquid power markets and its strategy includes the exploration of PSA extensions upon expiration of existing contracts.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE Clean Energy will pursue growth through acquisitions or project development for others. ALLETE Clean Energy is targeting acquisitions of existing facilities up to 200 MW each, which have long-term PSAs in place for the facilities&#8217; output. At this time, ALLETE Clean Energy expects acquisitions will be primarily wind or solar facilities in North America. ALLETE Clean Energy is also targeting the development of new facilities up to 200 MW each, which will have long-term PSAs in place for the output or may be sold upon completion. Federal production tax credit qualification is important to development project economics, and ALLETE Clean Energy invested approximately $100 million in equipment in late 2016 to meet production tax credit safe harbor provisions. ALLETE Clean Energy will invest approximately $80 million through 2020 to refurbish wind turbine generators at its Storm Lake I, Storm Lake II and Lake Benton wind energy facilities and requalify the facilities for production tax credits. </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

U.S. Water Services is a leading provider to the biofuels industry, and also serves the commercial and institutional markets, food and beverage, light manufacturing, power generation, and midstream oil and gas industries, among others. U.S. Water Services principally relies upon recurring revenues from a diverse mix of industrial customers. U.S. Water Services sells certain products which are seasonal in nature, with higher demand typically realized in warmer months; generally, lower sales occur in the first quarter of each year. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our strategy is to grow U.S. Water Services&#8217; presence in North America by adding customers, products, markets and new geographies. We believe water scarcity and a growing emphasis on conservation will continue to drive significant growth in the industrial, commercial and governmental sectors leading to organic revenue growth for U.S. Water Services. U.S. Water Services also expects to pursue periodic strategic tuck-in acquisitions with a purchase price in the $10 million to $50 million range. Priority will be given to acquisitions which expand its geographic reach, add new technology, or deepen its capabilities to serve its expanding customer base. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="sB03206B7AC4CCD9E2489E1D0280E220D"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Corporate and Other.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">BNI Energy.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">BNI Energy anticipates selling 4.6 million tons of coal in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;(3.8 million tons were sold in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">) and has sold 3.5&#160;million tons for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;(3.3 million tons were sold for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine&#160;months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">).

Market conditions can impact land sales and could result in our inability to cover our cost basis, operating expenses or fixed carrying costs such as community development district assessments and property taxes. ALLETE Properties&#8217; major projects in Florida are Town Center at Palm Coast and Palm Coast Park, with approximately 2,500 acres combined of land available-for-sale. In addition to these two projects, ALLETE Properties has approximately 1,000 acres of other land available-for-sale. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In recent years, market conditions for real estate in Florida have required us to review our land inventories for impairment. In 2015, the Company reevaluated its strategy related to the real estate assets of ALLETE Properties in response to market conditions and transaction activity. The revised strategy incorporated the possibility of a bulk sale of its entire portfolio. Proceeds from a bulk sale would be strategically deployed to support growth in our energy infrastructure and related services businesses. ALLETE Properties also continues to pursue sales of individual parcels over time. ALLETE Properties will continue to maintain key entitlements and infrastructure without making additional investments or acquisitions.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">ALLETE, Inc.

On an ongoing basis, ALLETE has tax credits and other tax adjustments that reduce the combined statutory rate to the effective tax rate. These tax credits and adjustments historically have included items such as investment tax credits, production tax credits, AFUDC-Equity, depletion, as well as other items. The annual effective rate can also be impacted by such items as changes in income before income taxes, state and federal tax law changes that become effective during the year, business combinations, tax planning initiatives and resolution of prior years&#8217; tax matters. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 20&#160;percent for </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;primarily due to federal production tax credits as a result of wind energy generation.

Access to reasonably priced capital markets is dependent in part on credit and ratings. Our securities have been rated by Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s and by Moody&#8217;s. Rating agencies use both quantitative and qualitative measures in determining a company&#8217;s credit rating. These measures include business risk, liquidity risk, competitive position, capital mix, financial condition, predictability of cash flows, management strength and future direction. Some of the quantitative measures can be analyzed through a few key financial ratios, while the qualitative ones are more subjective. Our current credit ratings are listed in the following table:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:70%;"></td><td style="width:18%;"></td><td style="width:12%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Credit Ratings</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Moody&#8217;s</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Issuer Credit Rating</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">BBB+</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A3</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Commercial Paper</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A-2</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">P-2</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">First Mortgage Bonds</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;">(a)</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;background-color:#cceeff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A1</font></div></td></tr></table></div></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:24px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;">(a)</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;">Not rated by Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The disclosure of these credit ratings is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our securities.

Minnesota Power&#8217;s exposure to price risk for these commodities is significantly mitigated by the current ratemaking process and regulatory framework, which allows recovery of fuel costs in excess of those included in base rates or distribution of savings in fuel costs to ratepayers. SWL&amp;P&#8217;s exposure to price risk for natural gas is significantly mitigated by the current ratemaking process and regulatory framework, which allows the commodity cost to be passed through to customers. We seek to prudently manage our customers&#8217; exposure to price risk by entering into contracts of various durations and terms for the purchase of power and coal and related transportation costs (Minnesota Power) and natural gas (SWL&amp;P).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">POWER MARKETING</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Minnesota Power&#8217;s power marketing activities consist of: (1) purchasing energy in the wholesale market to serve its regulated service territory when energy requirements exceed generation output; and (2) selling excess available energy and purchased power.

We manage our interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates of our fixed rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to mitigate interest rate exposure. Interest rates on variable rate long-term debt are reset on a periodic basis reflecting prevailing market conditions.

2017 earnings guidance</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">DULUTH, Minn. - ALLETE, Inc. (NYSE: ALE) today reported third quarter 2017 earnings of 88 cents per share on net income of $44.9&#160;million and operating revenue of $362.5 million. Last year&#8217;s results were 81 cents per share on net income of $40.3&#160;million and operating revenue of $349.6 million. Results for the third quarter of 2017 reflect a favorable impact of  approximately $8 million after-tax, or 16 cents per share, for the modification of a November 2016 Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) order on the allocation of North Dakota investment tax credits at a MPUC hearing on September 28, 2017. Net income in the third quarter of 2016 included an adverse impact of approximately $9&#160;million after-tax, or 18 cents per share, for the initial&#160;MPUC decision in October 2016. Net income in 2016 also included approximately $3 million after-tax, or 7 cent per share, gain for the sale of ALLETE Properties&#8217; Ormond Crossings project and Lake Swamp mitigation bank.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8220;We remain on track to meet our full-year earnings targets,&#8221; said ALLETE Chairman, President and CEO Al Hodnik. &#8220;We expect 2017 earnings to be within a range of $3.15 to $3.40 per share, excluding the impact of the MPUC's modification of its November&#160;2016 order on the allocation of North Dakota investment tax credits. We have made many accomplishments during the year and are pleased that our efforts are delivering value to ALLETE&#8217;s shareholders. We believe we are well positioned to deliver additional long-term value to our shareholders with our unique mix of businesses.&#8221; </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE&#8217;s Regulated Operations segment, which includes Minnesota Power, Superior Water, Light and Power, and the Company&#8217;s investment in the American Transmission Co., recorded net income of $34.2 million compared to net income of $45.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2016. Financial incentives under the Minnesota conservation improvement program decreased $4.4 million after-tax from 2016 due to the timing of the MPUC approval. In 2017, the conservation improvement program financial incentive was approved and recognized in the second quarter. Earnings in 2017 were also impacted by lower residential, commercial and municipal sales resulting from milder temperatures this quarter, lower sales to other power suppliers as a result of higher industrial sales and lower market prices, lower transmission margins, and higher depreciation, property tax and interest expense. These impacts were partially offset by higher sales to industrial customers, the implementation of final rates at Superior Water, Light and Power in August 2017 and interim rates at Minnesota Power in effect since the beginning of the year.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ALLETE&#8217;s Energy Infrastructure and Related Services businesses, which include ALLETE Clean Energy and U.S. Water Services, recorded net income of $0.6 million and net income of $1.3 million, respectively. Earnings at ALLETE Clean Energy decreased $0.4 million due to lower operating revenue as a result of lower wind resources, partially offset by lower operating and maintenance expense. Net income at U.S. Water Services</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">decreased $0.2 million from 2016 primarily due to higher operating expenses as a result of investments for future growth in waste treatment and water safety applications, partially offset by higher operating revenue compared to the same period in 2016. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Corporate and Other, which includes BNI Energy and ALLETE Properties, increased $16.0 million from 2016 primarily due to the previously mentioned modification of a 2016 MPUC order on the allocation of North Dakota investment tax credits.

A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the company's financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company include presentations of earnings (loss) per share. ALLETE's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by removing the effect of variances in GAAP reported results of operations that are not indicative of changes in the fundamental earnings power of the Company's operations. Management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is appropriate and enables investors and analysts to more accurately compare the company's ongoing financial performance over the periods presented.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font

Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See Note 6. Regulatory Matters.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&amp;#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&amp;#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020. Total project cost in the U.S., including substation work, is estimated to be between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$560 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$710&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, of which Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s portion is expected to be between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$300 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$350 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;; the difference will be recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro as contributions in aid of construction. Total project costs of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$66.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; have been incurred through &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, of which &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$36.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; has been recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Manitoba Hydro must obtain regulatory and governmental approvals related to a new transmission line in Canada. In 2015, Manitoba Hydro submitted the final preferred route and EIS for the transmission line in Canada to the Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship for regulatory approval. Construction of Manitoba Hydro&amp;#8217;s hydroelectric generation facility commenced in 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental Matters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Our businesses are subject to regulation of environmental matters by various federal, state and local authorities. A number of regulatory changes to the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and various waste management requirements have recently been promulgated by both the EPA and state authorities. Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s facilities are subject to additional regulation under many of these regulations. In response to these regulations, Minnesota Power is reshaping its generation portfolio over time to reduce its reliance on coal, has installed cost-effective emission control technology, and advocates for sound science and policy during rulemaking implementation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We consider our businesses to be in substantial compliance with currently applicable environmental regulations and believe all necessary permits have been obtained. We anticipate that with many state and federal environmental regulations finalized, or to be finalized in the near future, potential expenditures for future environmental matters may be material and may require significant capital investments. Minnesota Power has evaluated various environmental compliance scenarios using possible outcomes of environmental regulations to project power supply trends and impacts on customers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We review environmental matters on a quarterly basis. Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. Accruals are adjusted as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. Costs related to environmental contamination treatment and cleanup are expensed unless recoverable in rates from customers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Air.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The electric utility industry is regulated both at the federal and state level to address air emissions. Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s generating facilities mainly burn low-sulfur western sub-bituminous coal. All of Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s coal-fired generating facilities are equipped with pollution control equipment such as scrubbers, baghouses and low NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;X&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; technologies. Under currently applicable environmental regulations, these facilities are substantially compliant with emission requirements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;New Source Review (NSR).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In 2008, Minnesota Power received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the EPA asserting violations of the NSR requirements of the Clean Air Act at Boswell and Laskin Unit 2 between the years of 1981 and 2001. Minnesota Power received an additional NOV in 2011 alleging that two projects undertaken at Rapids Energy Center in 2004 and 2005 should have been reviewed under the NSR requirements and that the Rapids Energy Center&amp;#8217;s Title V permit was violated. Minnesota Power reached a settlement with the EPA regarding these NOVs and entered into a Consent Decree which was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota in&amp;#160;2014. The Consent Decree provided for, among other requirements, more stringent emissions limits at all affected units, the option of refueling, retrofits or retirements at certain small coal units, and the addition of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;200&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW of wind energy. Provisions of the Consent Decree require that, by no later than December 31, 2018, Boswell Units 1 and 2 must be retired, refueled, repowered, or emissions rerouted through existing emission control technology at Boswell. In October 2016, Minnesota Power announced that Boswell Units 1 and 2 will be retired in 2018 as part of its &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;EnergyForward &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;strategic plan. We believe that costs to retire Boswell Units 1 and 2 will be eligible for recovery in rates over time, subject to regulatory approval in a rate proceeding.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The CSAPR requires certain states in the eastern half of the U.S., including Minnesota, to reduce power plant emissions that contribute to ozone or fine particulate pollution in other states.&amp;#160;The CSAPR does not require installation of controls; rather it requires facilities have sufficient allowances to cover their emissions on an annual basis. These allowances are allocated to facilities from each state&amp;#8217;s annual budget, and can be bought and sold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s generation levels and emission rates in 2015 and 2016 were below its allowances. Allowances for 2017 and 2018 were distributed in June 2016. Based on our review of the NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; allowances issued and pending issuance, we currently expect generation levels and emission rates will result in compliance with the CSAPR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 13.&amp;#160;COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental Matters (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, the EPA is required to set emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) for certain source categories. The EPA published the final MATS rule in the Federal Register in&amp;#160;2012, addressing such emissions from coal-fired utility units greater than 25 MW. In the final MATS rule, the EPA established categories of HAPs, including mercury, trace metals other than mercury, acid gases, dioxin/furans and organics other than dioxin/furans. The EPA also established emission limits for the first three categories of HAPs and work practice standards for the remaining categories. Affected sources were required to be in compliance with the rule by April 2015, or April 2016 if granted an extension. Construction on the project to implement the Boswell Unit 4 mercury emissions reduction plan was completed in 2015. Investments and compliance work previously completed at Boswell Unit 3, including emission reduction investments completed in 2009, meet the requirements of the MATS rule. The conversion of Laskin Units&amp;#160;1 and 2 to natural gas in 2015 positioned those units for MATS compliance. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded an earlier U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decision on the MATS rule. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was unreasonable for the EPA to deem cost of compliance irrelevant in determining that regulation of emissions of hazardous air pollutants from power plants was &amp;#8220;appropriate and necessary&amp;#8221; under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The MATS rule remains in effect until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit acts on the remand. In 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected a motion by utilities and states to vacate the MATS rule, instead ordering the rule to remain in effect while the EPA completes its review. In April 2016, the EPA announced its determination that the MATS rule is appropriate and necessary, when also considering cost of compliance. The outcome of these proceedings is not expected to have a material impact on Minnesota Power generation due to emission reduction obligations under the Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act and the Consent Decree. (See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;New Source Review.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act/Rule. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In order to comply with the Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act, which was incorporated into rules promulgated by the MPCA in September 2014, Minnesota Power was required to implement a mercury emissions reduction project for Boswell Unit 4 by December 31, 2018. The Boswell Unit 4 environmental upgrade discussed above (see &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;) fulfills the requirements of the Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;A final rule issued by the EPA for Industrial Boiler MACT became effective in 2012. Major existing sources had until January 2016, to achieve compliance with the final rule and July 2016, to perform initial compliance demonstrations. Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s Hibbard Renewable Energy Center and Rapids Energy Center are subject to this rule and are currently in compliance. Compliance consisted largely of adjustments to our operating practices; therefore, the costs for complying with the final rule were not material.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The EPA is required to review the NAAQS every five years. If the EPA determines that a state&amp;#8217;s air quality is not in compliance with the NAAQS, the state is required to adopt plans describing how it will reduce emissions to attain the NAAQS. These state plans often include more stringent air emission limitations on sources of air pollutants than the NAAQS. Four NAAQS have either recently been revised or are currently proposed for revision, as described below.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Ozone NAAQS. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The EPA has proposed more stringent control related to emissions that result in ground level ozone. In 2010, the EPA proposed to revise the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb) and to adopt a secondary standard for the protection of sensitive vegetation from ozone-related damage. In 2015, the EPA published the final rule in the Federal Register revising the eight-hour ozone standard to 70 ppb with a secondary standard also set at 70 ppb. All areas of Minnesota currently meet the new standard based on the most recent available ambient monitoring data; however, some areas in the metropolitan Twin Cities and southwest portion of the state are close to exceeding the standard. As a result, voluntary efforts to reduce ozone continue in the state. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;No&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; additional costs for compliance are anticipated at this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Particulate Matter NAAQS. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The EPA finalized the Particulate Matter NAAQS in&amp;#160;2006. Since then, the EPA has established more stringent 24-hour and annual average fine particulate matter (PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;) standards; the 24-hour coarse particulate matter standard has remained unchanged. In 2012, the EPA issued a final rule implementing a more stringent annual PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; standard, while retaining the current 24-hour PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; standard. To implement the new annual PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; standard, the EPA is revising aspects of relevant monitoring, designation and permitting requirements. New projects and permits must comply with the new standard, which is generally demonstrated by modeling at the facility level.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 13.&amp;#160;COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental Matters (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Under the final rule, states will be responsible for additional PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; monitoring, which will likely be accomplished by relocating or repurposing existing monitors. The EPA asked states to submit attainment designations by 2013, based on already available monitoring data, and issued designations of the 2012 revised primary annual fine particulate attainment status in&amp;#160;2014. The EPA designated the entire state of Minnesota as unclassifiable/attainment; however, Minnesota sources may ultimately be required to reduce their emissions to assist with attainment in neighboring states. In September 2016, environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the EPA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging the EPA had failed to fully implement the PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5 &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;standards in certain states, including Minnesota, by not enforcing states&amp;#8217; submittals of required infrastructure SIPs for the 2012 PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2.5 &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NAAQS. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain, and as such, any costs for complying with the final Particulate Matter NAAQS cannot be estimated at this time. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; and NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; NAAQS. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;During 2010, the EPA finalized one-hour NAAQS for SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Ambient monitoring data indicates that Minnesota is likely in compliance with these standards; however, the one-hour SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; NAAQS also requires the EPA to evaluate additional modeling and monitoring considerations to determine attainment. In 2012, the MPCA notified Minnesota Power that modeling had been suspended as a result of the EPA&amp;#8217;s announcement that the SIP submittals would not require modeling demonstrations for states, such as Minnesota, where ambient monitors indicate compliance with the standard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2013, the EPA provided guidance to states regarding implementation of the one-hour NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; NAAQS and in&amp;#160;2014, as clarified in 2015, the MPCA submitted a SIP revision to the EPA addressing the infrastructure requirements of Sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act in regards to the one-hour NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; NAAQS, among other standards. In 2015, the EPA published in the Federal Register an approval and partial disapproval of the 2014 SIP revision. According to the MPCA, the partial disapproval is regarding state delegation of a program unrelated to the one-hour NAAQS for SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2, &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;and is not expected to require further action. On July 16, 2017, the EPA proposed retaining the current one-hour and annual NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2 &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NAAQS.&amp;#160;Additional compliance costs for the one-hour NO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; NAAQS are &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;not&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; expected at this time.&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2015, the EPA finalized the SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; data requirements rule (DRR) for the 2010 one-hour NAAQS to assist the states in implementing the standard. The rule sets emissions thresholds and exemptions for facilities that trigger modeling requirements. In January 2016, the MPCA informed the EPA of the Minnesota sources subject to the rule, confirming that Boswell and Taconite Harbor are the only Minnesota Power generating facilities subject to the DRR. Compliance options include ambient monitoring, modeling existing enforceable emission limits, or modeling actual emissions. The MPCA initially informed Minnesota Power that compliant SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; modeling recently completed at these facilities would satisfy the DRR obligations and no further modeling would be required; however, the DRR also requires facilities have federally-enforceable permit limits at which the one-hour SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2 &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NAAQS compliance was modeled by January 13, 2017. Taconite Harbor was issued an amended air permit in September 2016, containing the new modeling limits at that facility. The MPCA did not meet the January 13, 2017, deadline to amend the Boswell permit. The MPCA is in discussions with the EPA on alternate compliance pathways to use existing completed modeling at current limits. On August&amp;#160;21,&amp;#160;2017, the EPA proposed retaining the current primary SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2 &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;one-hour NAAQS. Compliance costs for the one-hour SO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; NAAQS are not expected to be material. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Class I Air Quality Petitions and Requests.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In 2014,&amp;#160;the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Fond du Lac Band) announced its intent to petition the EPA to redesignate its reservation air shed from Class II to Class I air quality pursuant to Section 164(c) of the Clean Air Act.&amp;#160;The Fond du Lac Band does not currently possess authority to directly regulate air quality. Class I air shed status, if granted, would allow the Fond du Lac Band to impose more stringent Clean Air Act protections within the boundaries of the Fond du Lac reservation, including the reservation air shed, near Cloquet, Minnesota. A public hearing was held by the Fond du Lac Band and the public comment period on the petition expired in 2014.&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2013, the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Bad River Band) announced its intent to petition the EPA to redesignate its reservation air shed from Class II to Class&amp;#160;I air quality pursuant to Section 164(c) of the Clean Air Act. The Class I analysis report was issued by the Bad River Band followed by public hearings and a public comment period ending in 2015.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The next step for the Fond du Lac Band and the Bad River Band would be to make a formal submittal request to the EPA. There is no deadline for the approval, denial, or modification of these requests by the EPA. We are unable to determine the impact of potential Class I status on the Company&amp;#8217;s operations at this time.&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 13.&amp;#160;COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental Matters (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Climate Change.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The scientific community generally accepts that emissions of GHG are linked to global climate change which creates physical and financial risks. Physical risks could include, but are not limited to: increased or decreased precipitation and water levels in lakes and rivers; increased temperatures; and changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. These all have the potential to affect the Company&amp;#8217;s business and operations.

Certain portions of the CAP directly address electric utility GHG emissions. On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth that rescinded the CAP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;EPA Regulation of GHG Emissions.&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2010, the EPA issued the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title&amp;#160;V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule (Tailoring Rule). The Tailoring Rule establishes permitting thresholds required to address GHG emissions for new facilities, existing facilities that undergo major modifications and other facilities characterized as major sources under the Clean Air Act&amp;#8217;s Title V program. For our existing facilities, the rule does not require amending our existing Title&amp;#160;V operating permits to include GHG requirements; however, GHG requirements may be added to our existing Title&amp;#160;V operating permits by the MPCA as these permits are renewed or amended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In late 2010, the EPA issued guidance to permitting authorities and affected sources to facilitate incorporation of the Tailoring Rule permitting requirements into the Title V and PSD permitting programs. The guidance stated that the project-specific, top&amp;#8209;down Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determination process used for other pollutants will also be used to determine BACT for GHG emissions. Through sector-specific white papers, the EPA also provided examples and technical summaries of GHG emission control technologies and techniques the EPA considers available or likely to be available to sources. It is possible that these control technologies could be determined to be BACT on a project-by-project basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the aspect of the Tailoring Rule that established higher permitting thresholds for GHG than for other pollutants subject to PSD; however, the court also upheld the EPA&amp;#8217;s ability to require BACT for GHG from sources already subject to regulation under PSD. Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s coal-fired generating facilities are already subject to regulation under PSD, so we anticipate that ultimately PSD for GHG will apply to our facilities, but the timing of the promulgation of a replacement for the Tailoring Rule is uncertain. The PSD applies to existing facilities only when they undertake a major modification that increases emissions. At this time, we are unable to predict the compliance costs that we might incur.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In October 2016, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to revise its PSD and Title V regulatory provisions concerning GHG emissions. In this proposed rule, the EPA proposes to amend its regulations to clarify that a source&amp;#8217;s obligation to obtain a PSD or Title V permit is triggered only by non-GHG pollutants. If the PSD or Title V permitting requirements are triggered by non-GHG, NSR pollutants, then these programs will also apply to the source&amp;#8217;s GHG emissions. The proposed rule, as currently written, is not expected to have a material impact on the Title V permitting for current operations. It is uncertain how the Title V permitting requirements will be affected by the March 28, 2017, Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 13.&amp;#160;COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental Matters (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2014, the EPA announced a proposed rule under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act for existing power plants entitled &amp;#8220;Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Generating Units&amp;#8221;, also referred to as the Clean Power Plan (CPP). The EPA issued the final CPP in 2015, together with a proposed federal implementation plan and a model rule for emissions trading. Petitions for review of the rule were filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In February&amp;#160;2016, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order staying the effectiveness of the rule until after the appellate court process is complete. In September 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia heard oral arguments and is currently deliberating. The EPA is precluded from enforcing the CPP while the U.S. Supreme Court stay is in force; however, the MPCA has been holding a series of meetings on the CPP for educational and planning purposes in the interim. Minnesota Power has been actively involved in these MPCA meetings, and is closely monitoring the appeals process.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;If upheld, the CPP would establish uniform CO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; emission performance rates for existing fossil fuel-fired and natural gas-fired combined cycle generating units, setting state-specific goals for CO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; emissions from the power sector. State goals were determined based on CPP source-specific performance emission rates and each state&amp;#8217;s mix of power plants. The EPA maintains such goals are achievable if a state undertakes a combination of measures across its power sector that constitutes the EPA&amp;#8217;s guideline for a Best System of Emission Reductions (BSER). BSER is comprised of three building blocks: 1) improved fossil fuel power plant efficiency, 2) increased reliance on low-emitting power sources by generating more electricity from existing natural gas combined-cycle units, and 3) building more zero- and low-emitting power sources, including renewable energy. States may also choose to include avoided CO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt"&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; emissions from customer energy efficiency measures for credit towards meeting state goals. The regulatory review initiated by the March 28, 2017, Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth is directed to include Section 111(b) and 111(d) CPP provisions. In addition, the EPA has filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to hold CPP-related litigation in abeyance while the EPA is reviewing the rule. On October 10, 2017, the EPA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking, proposing to repeal the CPP. Minnesota Power continues to monitor the status of the CPP and related matters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;State goals under the CPP are expressed as both mass-based and rate-based, and include interim goals to be met over the years 2022 through 2029, as well as a final goal to be met in 2030 and thereafter. Under the original schedule for the CPP, each state would have been required to develop a SIP by September 2016, or by September 6, 2018, if granted an extension. Due to the U.S. Supreme Court order staying the effectiveness of the CPP, those SIP submittal dates are not currently in effect. If the CPP is upheld at the completion of the appellate court process, all of the CPP regulatory deadlines are expected to be reset based on the length of time that the appeals process takes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In developing its plan, a state may choose to meet either the mass-based or the rate-based goals. Minnesota Power is currently evaluating the CPP as it relates to the State of Minnesota as well as its potential impact on the Company and is actively discussing potential compliance scenarios with regulatory agencies and in public stakeholder meetings. Minnesota has already initiated several measures consistent with those called for under the CAP and CPP. Minnesota Power is implementing its &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;EnergyForward&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; strategic plan that provides for significant emission reductions and diversifying its electricity generation mix to include more renewable and natural gas energy. (See Note 6. Regulatory Matters.) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We are unable to predict the GHG emission compliance costs we might incur; however, the costs could be material. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Water.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The Clean Water Act requires NPDES permits be obtained from the EPA (or, when delegated, from individual state pollution control agencies) for any wastewater discharged into navigable waters. We have obtained all necessary NPDES permits, including NPDES storm water permits for applicable facilities, to conduct our operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Clean Water Act - Aquatic Organisms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In 2011, the EPA announced proposed regulations under Section&amp;#160;316(b) of the Clean Water Act that set standards applicable to cooling water intake structures for the protection of aquatic organisms. The proposed regulations would require existing large power plants and manufacturing facilities that withdraw greater than 25&amp;#160;percent of water from adjacent water bodies for cooling purposes, and have a design intake flow of greater than 2 million gallons per day, to limit the number of aquatic organisms that are impacted by the facility&amp;#8217;s intake structure or cooling system. The Section 316(b) rule was effective in 2014. The Section 316(b) standards will be implemented through NPDES permits issued to the covered facilities with compliance timing dependent on individual NPDES renewal schedules. No NPDES permits for Minnesota Power generating facilities have been re-issued containing Section 316(b) requirements since the final rule was published, so at this time we are unable to determine the final cost of compliance. Should the MPCA require significant modifications to Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s intake structures, a preliminary assessment indicates costs of compliance up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$15 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; over the next five years. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 13.&amp;#160;COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental Matters (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Steam Electric Power Generating Effluent Guidelines. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2015, the EPA issued revised federal effluent limit guidelines (ELG) for steam electric power generating stations under the Clean Water Act.&amp;#160;It sets effluent limits and prescribes BACT for several wastewater streams, including flue gas desulphurization (FGD) water and coal combustion landfill leachate. On April 12, 2017, the EPA published in the Federal Register the postponement of certain compliance deadlines and formally announced that it would reconsider the final ELG rule.&amp;#160;Under the ELG rule schedule, required compliance activity deadlines could have been in place as soon as November 1, 2018. These deadlines could have included prescriptive wastewater treatment technology installation, as well as a ban on bottom ash contact water discharges.&amp;#160;If the EPA&amp;#8217;s reconsideration results in the rule being revised or rescinded, the authority to regulate bottom ash transport water and FGD wastewater would fall under existing Effluent Guidelines Limits and state resource agency purview. On September 13, 2017, the EPA formally announced a two-year postponement of the ELG compliance date to November 1, 2020, while the agency reconsiders bottom ash transport water and FGD wastewater provisions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We are evaluating the final ELG rule&amp;#8217;s potential impact on Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s operations, primarily at Boswell. Boswell currently discharges bottom ash contact water through its NPDES permit, and also has a closed-loop FGD system that does not currently discharge, but may do so in the future. Under the final ELG rule, bottom ash discharge would not be allowed and bottom ash contact water would either need to be re-used in a closed-loop process, routed to a FGD scrubber, or the bottom ash handling system would need to be converted to a dry process. If the FGD wastewater is discharged in the future, it would require additional wastewater treatment. Efforts have been underway at Boswell for several years to reduce the amount of water discharged and evaluate potential re-use options in its plant processes. Additional efforts are underway to determine if land application of certain wastewater streams under a state disposal system may be feasible.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;At this time, we cannot estimate what compliance costs we might incur related to these or other potential future water discharge regulations; however, the costs could be material, including costs associated with retrofits for bottom ash handling, pond dewatering, pond closure, and wastewater treatment and reuse. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Solid and Hazardous Waste.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 regulates the management and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. We are required to notify the EPA of hazardous waste activity and, consequently, routinely submit the necessary reports to the EPA.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Coal Ash Management Facilities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Minnesota Power stores or disposes coal ash at four of its electric generating facilities by the following methods: storing ash in lined onsite impoundments (ash ponds), disposing of dry ash in a lined dry ash landfill which has been idled and has a temporary landfill cover in place, applying ash to land as an approved beneficial use and trucking ash to state permitted landfills.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The EPA issued the final coal combustion residuals (CCR) rule in 2014 under Subtitle D (non-hazardous) of RCRA and it was published in the Federal Register in 2015. The rule includes additional requirements for new landfill and impoundment construction as well as closure activities related to certain existing impoundments. Costs of compliance for Boswell and Laskin are expected to occur primarily over the next 10 years and be between approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$65 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$100 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Recently, the EPA has indicated to Minnesota Power that the Taconite Harbor landfill is a CCR unit, based on the EPA&amp;#8217;s interpretation of the CCR rule language. Minnesota Power has agreed to post the required CCR information for the Taconite Harbor landfill on Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s website while the CCR issue is resolved. Minnesota Power continues to work on minimizing costs through evaluation of beneficial re-use and recycling of CCR and CCR-related waters. On September 13, 2017, the EPA announced its intention to formally reconsider the CCR rule. Compliance costs, if any, for CCR at Taconite Harbor cannot be estimated at this time. Minnesota Power would seek recovery of additional costs through a rate proceeding.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Other Matters.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;ALLETE Clean Energy. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ALLETE Clean Energy&amp;#8217;s wind energy facilities have PSAs in place for their entire output and expire in various years between 2018 and 2032.

We have determined that either we have no variable interest in the PPAs or, where we do have variable interests, we are not the primary beneficiary; therefore, consolidation is not required. These conclusions are based on the fact that we do not have both control over activities that are most significant to the entity and an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity&amp;#8217;s performance. Our financial exposure relating to these PPAs is limited to our capacity and energy payments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ConsolidationVariableInterestEntityPolicy>

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On June 1, 2017, ALLETE issued &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$80.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of its senior unsecured notes (the&amp;#160;Notes) to certain institutional buyers in the private placement market. The Notes were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to institutional accredited investors. The Notes bear interest at &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;3.11 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and mature on June 1, 2027. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December&amp;#160;1,&amp;#160;2017. ALLETE has the option to prepay all or a portion of the Notes at its discretion, subject to a make-whole provision. The Notes are subject to additional terms and conditions which are customary for these types of transactions. Proceeds from the sale of the Notes may be used to redeem debt, fund corporate growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August 25, 2017, ALLETE entered into a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$40.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; term loan agreement (Term Loan). The Term Loan is an unsecured, single draw loan that is due on August 25, 2020, and may be prepaid at any time subject to a make-whole provision. The interest rate on the Term Loan is equal to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;LIBOR&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; plus &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1.025 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

In addition, our lines of credit and letters of credit supporting certain long-term debt arrangements contain financial covenants. Our compliance with financial covenants is not dependent on debt ratings. The most restrictive financial covenant requires ALLETE&amp;#160;to maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as the amounts are calculated in accordance with the respective long-term debt arrangements) of less than or equal to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;0.65 to 1.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, measured quarterly. As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, our ratio was approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;0.42 to 1.00&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Failure to meet this covenant would give rise to an event of default if not cured after notice from the lender, in which event ALLETE may need to pursue alternative sources of funding. Some of ALLETE&amp;#8217;s debt arrangements contain &amp;#8220;cross-default&amp;#8221; provisions that would result in an event of default if there is a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that would result in an acceleration of payments due. As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, ALLETE was in compliance with its financial covenants.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DebtDisclosureTextBlock>

We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs, which are used to measure fair value, are prioritized through the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Descriptions of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are discussed in Note 9. Fair Value to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Form 10-K.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31,&amp;#160;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Each asset and liability is classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of these assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The estimated fair value of Cash and Cash Equivalents listed on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates the carrying amount and therefore is excluded from the recurring fair value measures in the

Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings, thus eliminating the requirement to classify the excess tax benefit and deficiencies as additional paid-in capital. Under the new guidance, an entity makes an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected forfeiture awards or account for forfeitures as they occur. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a less than &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; impact to income tax expense (benefit) annually.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 1.

The clarifying guidance will also impact other areas including the accounting for goodwill and consolidation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2017, the FASB issued additional clarifying guidance regarding circumstances where changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC&amp;#160;718. The guidance provides specific situations that would be excluded from effects of a modification including if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification are the same before and after modification. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after adoption. This accounting guidance was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Recently Issued Pronouncements&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step two of the goodwill impairment test that requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The updated guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit&amp;#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted on a prospective basis. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. Under the revised guidance of ASC 715, an entity shall present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The guidance also allows only the service cost component of the periodic cost to be eligible for capitalization. The standard will be applied retrospectively for income statement presentation, and prospectively for capitalization of service cost components. We do not expect there to be a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements with the adoption of the updated guidance which is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers by providing a single comprehensive model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of September 30, 2017, the Company has reviewed all of its revenue streams and contracts for its regulated businesses, completing the preliminary evaluations of the impact of this guidance. Based on this review, the Company does not expect the guidance to materially affect the results of its regulated operations, which represent the majority of revenue. Our review and analysis of the Company&amp;#8217;s energy infrastructure and related services and corporate and other businesses is in progress and we similarly do not expect the guidance to impact the results of these businesses. Management continues to evaluate the need for additional disclosures to meet the requirements of the new standard following adoption. The Company will adopt and implement the new guidance on a modified retrospective basis which requires application of standards to all contracts with customers effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative impact on contracts with performance obligations not yet satisfied as of December 31, 2017, recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 1.

Under the revised guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a &amp;#8220;right-of-use&amp;#8221; asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The accounting for leases by lessors and the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from leases are not expected to significantly change as a result of the updated guidance. The revised guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the revised lease guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires entities to measure their investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the practicability exception. The practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will result in a cumulative&amp;#8209;effect adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the fiscal year of adoption. We have performed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of this update, and based on that evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero&amp;#8209;coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the presentation of restricted cash in the Company&amp;#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The update requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The guidance will result in changes to the Company&amp;#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end&amp;#8209;of&amp;#8209;period cash and cash equivalents totals when adopted for our fiscal year beginning January&amp;#160;1,&amp;#160;2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

financial statements issuance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br

the Measurement of Inventory. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings, thus eliminating the requirement to classify the excess tax benefit and deficiencies as additional paid-in capital. Under the new guidance, an entity makes an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected forfeiture awards or account for forfeitures as they occur. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a less than &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; impact to income tax expense (benefit) annually.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 1.

The clarifying guidance will also impact other areas including the accounting for goodwill and consolidation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2017, the FASB issued additional clarifying guidance regarding circumstances where changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC&amp;#160;718. The guidance provides specific situations that would be excluded from effects of a modification including if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification are the same before and after modification. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after adoption. This accounting guidance was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Recently Issued Pronouncements&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step two of the goodwill impairment test that requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The updated guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit&amp;#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted on a prospective basis. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. Under the revised guidance of ASC 715, an entity shall present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The guidance also allows only the service cost component of the periodic cost to be eligible for capitalization. The standard will be applied retrospectively for income statement presentation, and prospectively for capitalization of service cost components. We do not expect there to be a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements with the adoption of the updated guidance which is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers by providing a single comprehensive model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of September 30, 2017, the Company has reviewed all of its revenue streams and contracts for its regulated businesses, completing the preliminary evaluations of the impact of this guidance. Based on this review, the Company does not expect the guidance to materially affect the results of its regulated operations, which represent the majority of revenue. Our review and analysis of the Company&amp;#8217;s energy infrastructure and related services and corporate and other businesses is in progress and we similarly do not expect the guidance to impact the results of these businesses. Management continues to evaluate the need for additional disclosures to meet the requirements of the new standard following adoption. The Company will adopt and implement the new guidance on a modified retrospective basis which requires application of standards to all contracts with customers effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative impact on contracts with performance obligations not yet satisfied as of December 31, 2017, recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 1.

Under the revised guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a &amp;#8220;right-of-use&amp;#8221; asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The accounting for leases by lessors and the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from leases are not expected to significantly change as a result of the updated guidance. The revised guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the revised lease guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires entities to measure their investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the practicability exception. The practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will result in a cumulative&amp;#8209;effect adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the fiscal year of adoption. We have performed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of this update, and based on that evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero&amp;#8209;coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the presentation of restricted cash in the Company&amp;#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The update requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The guidance will result in changes to the Company&amp;#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end&amp;#8209;of&amp;#8209;period cash and cash equivalents totals when adopted for our fiscal year beginning January&amp;#160;1,&amp;#160;2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Revision of Prior Balance Sheet.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; During the first quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error related to the deferred income tax treatment associated with its Wholesale and Retail Contra AFUDC Regulatory Liability. The Company evaluated the materiality of the error and concluded that it was not material to any previously issued historical financial statements. The Company has revised its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016, by decreasing Regulatory Assets and Deferred Income Taxes by &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$29.5&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The correction had no impact on our Consolidated Statement of Income. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Reclassification of Prior Income Statement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Beginning with the second quarter of 2017, the Company enhanced its presentation of Operating Revenue and certain Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income by presenting the caption Operating Revenue separately as Operating Revenue &amp;#8211; Utility and Operating Revenue &amp;#8211; Non-utility. In conformity with the current presentation, we now present &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$253.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$740.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of Operating Revenue as Operating Revenue &amp;#8211; Utility for the quarter and nine months ended September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2016, respectively, as it is generated from our regulated utility operations. Non-utility revenue of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$96.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$257.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the quarter and nine months ended September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2016, respectively, is now presented as Operating Revenue &amp;#8211; Non-utility. In addition, the captions Fuel and Purchased Power and Cost of Sales have been updated to Fuel, Purchased Power and Gas &amp;#8211; Utility and Cost of Sales &amp;#8211; Non-utility. As a result, we have reclassified &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$0.7&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; relating to the cost of gas sales at SWL&amp;amp;P from the historic caption Cost of Sales to Fuel, Purchased Power and Gas &amp;#8211; Utility for the quarter ended September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2016, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$4.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the nine months ended September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2016.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:OrganizationConsolidationBasisOfPresentationBusinessDescriptionAndAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

The rate filing seeks a return on equity of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10.25&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;percent and a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;53.81 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; equity ratio. On an annualized basis, the requested final rate increase would have generated approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$55&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in additional revenue. In December&amp;#160;2016, Minnesota Power filed a request to modify its original interim rate proposal reducing its requested interim rate increase to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$34.7&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; from the original request of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$49 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; due to a change in its electric sales forecast. In December&amp;#160;2016 orders, the MPUC accepted the November 2016 filing as complete and authorized an annual interim rate increase of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$34.7&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; beginning January&amp;#160;1,&amp;#160;2017. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On February&amp;#160;23,&amp;#160;2017, Minnesota Power filed an additional request to further reduce its requested interim rate increase. In an order dated April 13, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s updated retail rate request resulting in a reduction in the annual interim rate increase to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$32.2&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; beginning May&amp;#160;1,&amp;#160;2017. As a result of working with intervenors and further developments as the rate review has progressed, Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s final rate request is approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$49&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on an annualized basis. A report and recommendation from the administrative law judge is scheduled to be issued in November&amp;#160;2017, with a final decision from the MPUC expected in January 2018. Management has evaluated the need for a reserve for interim rate refunds and concluded that a reserve is not necessary as of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Management evaluates the need for reserves for interim rates each reporting period.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As part of its 2016 general rate case and through its 2017 remaining life depreciation petition filed on February&amp;#160;1,&amp;#160;2017, Minnesota Power is seeking an extension of the recovery period for Boswell to better reflect recent environmental investments at the facility and mitigate rate increases for our customers. If the requested recovery period extension is approved, annual depreciation expense will be reduced by approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$25&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. If not approved, we would expect final rates to be increased by a similar amount, subject to regulatory approval. We cannot predict the level of final rates that may be authorized by the MPUC. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Energy-Intensive Trade-Exposed (EITE) Customer Rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The Minnesota Legislature enacted EITE customer ratemaking law in 2015 which established that it is the energy policy of the state to have competitive rates for certain industries such as mining and forest products. In 2015, Minnesota Power filed a rate schedule petition with the MPUC for EITE customers and a corresponding rider for EITE cost recovery. In a March&amp;#160;2016 order, the MPUC dismissed the petition without prejudice, providing Minnesota Power the option to refile the petition with additional information or file a new petition. In June 2016, Minnesota Power filed a revised EITE petition with the MPUC which included additional information on the net benefits analysis, limits on eligible customers and term lengths for the EITE discount. The rate adjustments are intended to be revenue and cash flow neutral to Minnesota Power. The MPUC approved a reduction in rates for EITE customers in a December&amp;#160;2016 order and subsequently approved cost recovery in an order dated April&amp;#160;20,&amp;#160;2017; collection of the discount was subject to the MPUC&amp;#8217;s review of Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s compliance filing implementing approval of a recovery mechanism. On September&amp;#160;29,&amp;#160;2017, Minnesota Power informed its EITE customers that it has suspended the EITE discount due to a concern it is not revenue and cash flow neutral to Minnesota Power based on an MPUC decision at a hearing on September&amp;#160;7,&amp;#160;2017, as well as the interim rate reduction and upcoming decisions in its 2016 general rate case.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 6.&amp;#160;REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Electric Rates (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;FERC-Approved Wholesale Rates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Minnesota Power has &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;16&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; non-affiliated municipal customers in Minnesota.

All wholesale electric contracts include a termination clause requiring a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;-year notice to terminate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s wholesale electric contract with the Nashwauk Public Utilities Commission is effective through December&amp;#160;31,&amp;#160;2032, subject to bankruptcy court approval. No termination notice may be given for this contract prior to June&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2025. The wholesale electric service contracts with SWL&amp;amp;P and another municipal customer are effective through October&amp;#160;31, 2020, and June&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2019, respectively. Under the agreement with SWL&amp;amp;P, no termination notice may be given prior to October 31,&amp;#160;2017. The other municipal customer provided termination notice for its contract in June&amp;#160;2016. Minnesota Power currently provides approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;29&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW of average monthly demand to this customer. The rates included in these &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; contracts are set each July&amp;#160;1 based on a cost-based formula methodology, using estimated costs and a rate of return that is equal to Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s authorized rate of return for Minnesota retail customers (currently &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10.38 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;). The formula-based rate methodology also provides for a yearly true-up calculation for actual costs incurred.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s wholesale electric contracts with &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;14&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; municipal customers are effective through December&amp;#160;31,&amp;#160;2024. No termination notices may be given prior to December&amp;#160;31,&amp;#160;2021. These contracts include fixed capacity charges through 2018; beginning in&amp;#160;2019, the capacity charge will not increase by more than &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;two percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; or decrease by more than &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;one percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; from the previous year&amp;#8217;s capacity charge and will be determined using a cost-based formula methodology. The base energy charge for each year of the contract term will be set each January&amp;#160;1, subject to monthly adjustment, and will also be determined using a cost-based formula methodology. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Transmission Cost Recovery Rider.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Minnesota Power has an approved cost recovery rider in place for certain transmission investments and expenditures. In a February&amp;#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s updated customer billing rates which allows Minnesota Power to charge retail customers on a current basis for the costs of constructing certain transmission facilities plus a return on the capital invested. As a result of the MPUC approval of the certificate of need for the GNTL in 2015, the project is eligible for cost recovery under the existing transmission cost recovery rider. Minnesota Power is funding the construction of the GNTL with a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro (see &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Great Northern Transmission Line&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;), and anticipates including its portion of the investments and expenditures for the GNTL in future transmission cost recovery filings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Renewable Cost Recovery Rider.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Minnesota Power has an approved cost recovery rider in place for investments and expenditures related to Bison and the restoration and repair of Thomson. The cost recovery rider allows Minnesota Power to charge retail customers on a current basis for the costs of constructing certain renewable investments plus a return on the capital invested. Updated customer billing rates for the renewable cost recovery rider were approved by the MPUC at a hearing on September&amp;#160;28,&amp;#160;2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In a November&amp;#160;2016 order, the MPUC directed Minnesota Power to attribute all North Dakota investment tax credits realized from Bison to Minnesota Power regulated retail customers. As a result of the adverse regulatory outcome, Minnesota Power recorded a regulatory liability and a reduction in operating revenue of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$15&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in the third quarter of 2016. The North Dakota investment tax credits previously recognized as income tax credits in Corporate and Other were reversed in 2016 resulting in an approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; charge to net income in the third quarter of 2016. In December 2016, Minnesota Power submitted a request for reconsideration with the MPUC. In an order dated February&amp;#160;14,&amp;#160;2017, the MPUC decided to reconsider its November&amp;#160;2016 order. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;At a hearing on September 28, 2017, the MPUC modified its November 2016 order to allow Minnesota Power to account for North Dakota investment tax credits based on the long&amp;#8209;standing regulatory precedents of stand-alone allocation methodology of accounting for income taxes. As a result of the favorable regulatory outcome, Minnesota Power recorded a reduction in its regulatory liability and an increase in operating revenue of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$14 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in the third quarter of 2017. The North Dakota investment tax credits were reestablished as income tax credits in Corporate and Other, resulting in an approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; increase to net income in the third quarter of 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The stand-alone method provides that income taxes (and credits) are calculated as if Minnesota Power was the only entity included in ALLETE&amp;#8217;s consolidated federal and unitary state income tax returns. Minnesota Power has recorded a regulatory liability for North Dakota investment tax credits generated by its jurisdictional activity and expected to be realized in the future. North Dakota investment tax credits attributable to ALLETE&amp;#8217;s apportionment and income of ALLETE&amp;#8217;s other subsidiaries are included in Corporate and Other operations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 6.&amp;#160;REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Electric Rates (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Minnesota Power also has approval for current cost recovery of investments and expenditures related to compliance with the Minnesota Solar Energy Standard. (See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Minnesota Solar Energy Standard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;) Currently, there is no approved customer billing rate for solar costs. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Environmental Improvement Rider&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Minnesota Power has an approved environmental improvement rider in place for investments and expenditures related to the implementation of the Boswell Unit 4 mercury emissions reduction plan completed in 2015. Updated customer billing rates for the environmental improvement rider were approved by the MPUC in a December 2016 order; however, in an order dated March&amp;#160;22,&amp;#160;2017, the MPUC approved a request by Minnesota Power to delay implementation of the updated rates until resolution of its 2016 general rate case. (See&amp;#160;2016&amp;#160;Minnesota General Rate Case.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Fuel Adjustment Clause Reform Pilot&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. At a hearing on October 19, 2017, the MPUC adopted a three-year pilot program to implement certain procedural reforms to the Minnesota utilities&amp;#8217; automatic fuel adjustment clause (FAC) for fuel and purchased power. The decision, subject to an MPUC order, would change the method of accounting for all Minnesota electric utilities to a monthly budgeted, forwarded&amp;#8209;looking FAC with a subsequent prudence review and true-up to actual allowed costs on an annual basis. The annual budget projection filing would also include an adjustment to the base cost of fuel. The MPUC will seek input from the utilities and other stakeholders on the detailed implementation steps and transition accounting needed to adopt the change in regulatory accounting method from the current FAC. Transition considerations would need to include the recovery of the current regulatory asset for deferred fuel costs consistent with other regulatory accounting transition precedents for similar matters. Other details of the transition including budgeting methodology and approval, tracker accounting for the differences between actual costs and the budgeted amounts, and the annual true-up and collection or refund process to customers will be determined by the MPUC upon consideration of each utility&amp;#8217;s compliance filings. Based on the discussion at the October&amp;#160;19,&amp;#160;2017 hearing, this pilot is not expected to start until mid-2019. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;2016 Wisconsin General Rate Case. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June 2016, SWL&amp;amp;P filed a rate increase request with the PSCW requesting an average increase of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;3.1 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for retail customers. The filing sought an overall return on equity of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10.9 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;55 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; equity ratio. In an order dated August 9, 2017, the PSCW approved SWL&amp;amp;P&amp;#8217;s rate increase request allowing for a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;10.5 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; return on common equity and a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;55 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; equity ratio. The order authorizes SWL&amp;amp;P to collect on average a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;2.9 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; increase in rates for retail customers (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;3.8 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; increase in electric rates; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;4.8 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; decrease in natural gas rates; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;9.8 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; increase in water rates). Final rates became effective on August 14, 2017. On an annualized basis, SWL&amp;amp;P will collect additional revenue of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;"&gt;$2.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Integrated Resource Plan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2015, Minnesota Power filed its 2015 IRP with the MPUC which included an analysis of a variety of existing and future energy resource alternatives and a projection of customer cost impact by class. The 2015 IRP also contained steps in Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;EnergyForward&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; strategic plan including the economic idling of Taconite Harbor Units 1 and 2 which occurred in September 2016, the ceasing of coal-fired operations at Taconite Harbor in 2020, and the addition of between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;200&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;MW and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;300&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW of natural gas-fired generation in the next decade. In a July&amp;#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s 2015 IRP with modifications. The order accepted Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s plans for Taconite Harbor, directed Minnesota Power to retire Boswell Units 1 and 2 no later than 2022, required an analysis of generation and demand response alternatives to be filed with a natural gas resource proposal, and required Minnesota Power to conduct request for proposals for additional wind, solar and demand response resource additions subject to further MPUC approvals. In October&amp;#160;2016, Minnesota Power announced Boswell Units 1 and 2 will be retired in 2018. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On July&amp;#160;28,&amp;#160;2017, Minnesota Power submitted a resource package to the MPUC requesting approval of PPAs for the output of a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;250&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW wind energy facility and a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW solar energy facility as well as approval of a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;250&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW natural gas energy PPA. These agreements will be subject to MPUC approval of the construction of a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;525&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;550&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW combined-cycle natural gas-fired generating facility which will be jointly owned by Dairyland Power Cooperative and a subsidiary of ALLETE. Minnesota Power&amp;#160;would purchase approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;50 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the facility's output starting in 2025. In an order dated September 19, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s request to extend the next IRP filing deadline until October 1, 2019, and Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s request that approval for the natural gas energy PPA be decided through an administrative law judge process. The administrative law judge is expected to provide a recommendation by July 2018, and the Company anticipates a MPUC decision in the second half of 2018. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;background-color:#ffffff;"&gt;The MPUC did not take any action regarding the wind and solar energy PPAs which will be refiled separately from the natural gas energy PPA.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 6.&amp;#160;REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Great Northern Transmission Line&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Minnesota Power and Manitoba Hydro have proposed construction of the GNTL, an approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;220&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;-mile &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;500&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;-kV transmission line between Manitoba and Minnesota&amp;#8217;s Iron Range. In 2015, a certificate of need was approved by the MPUC. Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Transmission Cost Recovery Rider&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&amp;#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&amp;#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020. Total project cost in the U.S., including substation work, is estimated to be between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$560 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$710&amp;#160;million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, of which Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s portion is expected to be between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$300 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$350 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;; the difference will be recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro as contributions in aid of construction. Total project costs of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$66.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; have been incurred through &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30,&amp;#160;2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, of which &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$36.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; has been recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Manitoba Hydro must obtain regulatory and governmental approvals related to a new transmission line in Canada. In 2015, Manitoba Hydro submitted the final preferred route and EIS for the transmission line in Canada to the Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship for regulatory approval. Construction of Manitoba Hydro&amp;#8217;s hydroelectric generation facility commenced in 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Conservation Improvement Program. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Minnesota requires electric utilities to spend a minimum of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1.5 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of gross operating revenues from service provided in the state on energy CIPs each year. On April 3, 2017, Minnesota Power submitted its 2016 CIP consolidated filing, which detailed Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s CIP program results and requested a CIP financial incentive of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; based upon MPUC procedures. In an order dated June 22, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s CIP consolidated filing, including the requested CIP financial incentive which was recorded as revenue and as a regulatory asset in the second quarter of 2017. The approved financial incentive will be recovered through customer billing rates in 2017 and 2018. In 2016, the CIP financial incentive of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$7.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; was recognized in the third quarter. CIP financial incentives are recognized in the period in which the MPUC approves the filing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;MISO Return on Equity Complaints.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In 2013, several customer groups located within the MISO service area filed complaints with the FERC requesting, among other things, a reduction in the base return on equity used by MISO transmission owners, including ALLETE and ATC, to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;9.15 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In 2015, a federal administrative law judge ruled on the complaint proposing a reduction in the base return on equity to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10.32 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10.82 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; including an incentive adder for participation in a regional transmission organization. In September 2016, the FERC issued an order affirming the administrative law judge&amp;#8217;s recommendation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2015, an additional complaint was filed with the FERC seeking an order to further reduce the base return on equity to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;8.67&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;percent. In June 2016, a federal administrative law judge ruled on the additional complaint proposing a further reduction in the base return on equity to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;9.70 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10.20 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; including an incentive adder for participation in a regional transmission organization, subject to approval or adjustment by the FERC. A final decision from the FERC on the administrative law judge&amp;#8217;s recommendation is pending, which is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Minnesota Solar Energy Standard. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2013, legislation was enacted by the state of Minnesota requiring at least &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1.5 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of total retail electric sales, excluding sales to certain customers, to be generated by solar energy by the end of 2020. At least &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;percent of the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1.5 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; mandate must be met by solar energy generated by or procured from solar photovoltaic devices with a nameplate capacity of 40 kW or less. In a February 2016 order finalized in December 2016, the MPUC approved Camp Ripley, a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW utility scale solar project at the Camp Ripley Minnesota Army National Guard base and training facility near Little Falls, Minnesota, as eligible to meet the solar energy standard and for current cost recovery. Camp Ripley was completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. In a July 2016 order, the MPUC approved a community solar garden project in northeastern Minnesota, which is comprised of a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MW solar array to be owned and operated by a third party with the output purchased by Minnesota Power and a 40 kW solar array that is owned and operated by Minnesota Power. Minnesota Power believes Camp Ripley and the community solar garden project will meet approximately one-third of the overall mandate. Additionally, in an order dated February 10, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s proposal to increase the amount of solar rebates available for customer-sited solar installations and recover costs of the program through Minnesota Power&amp;#8217;s renewable cost recovery rider. This proposal to incentivize customer&amp;#8209;sited solar installations is expected to meet a portion of the required mandate related to solar photovoltaic devices with a nameplate capacity of 40&amp;#160;kW or less. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOTE 6.&amp;#160;REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Regulatory Assets and Liabilities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Our regulated utility operations are subject to accounting guidance for the effect of certain types of regulation. Regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred as they are probable for recovery in customer rates. Regulatory liabilities represent obligations to make refunds to customers and amounts collected in rates for which the related costs have not yet been incurred. The Company assesses quarterly whether regulatory assets and liabilities meet the criteria for probability of future recovery or deferral. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;No regulatory assets or liabilities are currently earning a return.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The recovery,

standards update which requires entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings, thus eliminating the requirement to classify the excess tax benefit and deficiencies as additional paid-in capital. Under the new guidance, an entity makes an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected forfeiture awards or account for forfeitures as they occur. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a less than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> impact to income tax expense (benefit) annually.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 1.

The clarifying guidance will also impact other areas including the accounting for goodwill and consolidation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2017, the FASB issued additional clarifying guidance regarding circumstances where changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC&#160;718. The guidance provides specific situations that would be excluded from effects of a modification including if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification are the same before and after modification. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after adoption. This accounting guidance was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Recently Issued Pronouncements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step two of the goodwill impairment test that requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The updated guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit&#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted on a prospective basis. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. Under the revised guidance of ASC 715, an entity shall present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The guidance also allows only the service cost component of the periodic cost to be eligible for capitalization. The standard will be applied retrospectively for income statement presentation, and prospectively for capitalization of service cost components. We do not expect there to be a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements with the adoption of the updated guidance which is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers by providing a single comprehensive model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of September 30, 2017, the Company has reviewed all of its revenue streams and contracts for its regulated businesses, completing the preliminary evaluations of the impact of this guidance. Based on this review, the Company does not expect the guidance to materially affect the results of its regulated operations, which represent the majority of revenue. Our review and analysis of the Company&#8217;s energy infrastructure and related services and corporate and other businesses is in progress and we similarly do not expect the guidance to impact the results of these businesses. Management continues to evaluate the need for additional disclosures to meet the requirements of the new standard following adoption. The Company will adopt and implement the new guidance on a modified retrospective basis which requires application of standards to all contracts with customers effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative impact on contracts with performance obligations not yet satisfied as of December 31, 2017, recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 1.

Under the revised guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a &#8220;right-of-use&#8221; asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The accounting for leases by lessors and the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from leases are not expected to significantly change as a result of the updated guidance. The revised guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the revised lease guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires entities to measure their investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the practicability exception. The practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will result in a cumulative&#8209;effect adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the fiscal year of adoption. We have performed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of this update, and based on that evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero&#8209;coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the presentation of restricted cash in the Company&#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The update requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The guidance will result in changes to the Company&#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end&#8209;of&#8209;period cash and cash equivalents totals when adopted for our fiscal year beginning January&#160;1,&#160;2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Revision of Prior Balance Sheet.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> During the first quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error related to the deferred income tax treatment associated with its Wholesale and Retail Contra AFUDC Regulatory Liability. The Company evaluated the materiality of the error and concluded that it was not material to any previously issued historical financial statements. The Company has revised its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016, by decreasing Regulatory Assets and Deferred Income Taxes by </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$29.5&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The correction had no impact on our Consolidated Statement of Income. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Reclassification of Prior Income Statement.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> Beginning with the second quarter of 2017, the Company enhanced its presentation of Operating Revenue and certain Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income by presenting the caption Operating Revenue separately as Operating Revenue &#8211; Utility and Operating Revenue &#8211; Non-utility. In conformity with the current presentation, we now present </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$253.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$740.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of Operating Revenue as Operating Revenue &#8211; Utility for the quarter and nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016, respectively, as it is generated from our regulated utility operations. Non-utility revenue of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$96.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$257.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the quarter and nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016, respectively, is now presented as Operating Revenue &#8211; Non-utility. In addition, the captions Fuel and Purchased Power and Cost of Sales have been updated to Fuel, Purchased Power and Gas &#8211; Utility and Cost of Sales &#8211; Non-utility. As a result, we have reclassified </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.7&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> relating to the cost of gas sales at SWL&amp;P from the historic caption Cost of Sales to Fuel, Purchased Power and Gas &#8211; Utility for the quarter ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016, and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the nine months ended September&#160;30,&#160;2016.</font></div></div><span></span>

We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs, which are used to measure fair value, are prioritized through the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Descriptions of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are discussed in Note 9.

Each asset and liability is classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of these assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The estimated fair value of Cash and Cash Equivalents listed on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates the carrying amount and therefore is excluded from the recurring fair value measures in the following tables.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table

As authorized by the MPUC, Minnesota Power also recognizes revenue under cost recovery riders for transmission, renewable, and environmental investments and expenditures. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Transmission Cost Recovery Rider, Renewable Cost Recovery Rider </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">and</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> Environmental Improvement Rider</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.)

The rate filing seeks a return on equity of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.25</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;percent and a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">53.81 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> equity ratio. On an annualized basis, the requested final rate increase would have generated approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$55&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in additional revenue. In December&#160;2016, Minnesota Power filed a request to modify its original interim rate proposal reducing its requested interim rate increase to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$34.7&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> from the original request of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$49 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> due to a change in its electric sales forecast. In December&#160;2016 orders, the MPUC accepted the November 2016 filing as complete and authorized an annual interim rate increase of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$34.7&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> beginning January&#160;1,&#160;2017. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February&#160;23,&#160;2017, Minnesota Power filed an additional request to further reduce its requested interim rate increase. In an order dated April 13, 2017, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s updated retail rate request resulting in a reduction in the annual interim rate increase to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$32.2&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> beginning May&#160;1,&#160;2017. As a result of working with intervenors and further developments as the rate review has progressed, Minnesota Power&#8217;s final rate request is approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$49&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on an annualized basis. A report and recommendation from the administrative law judge is scheduled to be issued in November&#160;2017, with a final decision from the MPUC expected in January 2018. Management has evaluated the need for a reserve for interim rate refunds and concluded that a reserve is not necessary as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

If the requested recovery period extension is approved, annual depreciation expense will be reduced by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$25&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. If not approved, we would expect final rates to be increased by a similar amount, subject to regulatory approval. We cannot predict the level of final rates that may be authorized by the MPUC. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Energy-Intensive Trade-Exposed (EITE) Customer Rates.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> The Minnesota Legislature enacted EITE customer ratemaking law in 2015 which established that it is the energy policy of the state to have competitive rates for certain industries such as mining and forest products. In 2015, Minnesota Power filed a rate schedule petition with the MPUC for EITE customers and a corresponding rider for EITE cost recovery. In a March&#160;2016 order, the MPUC dismissed the petition without prejudice, providing Minnesota Power the option to refile the petition with additional information or file a new petition. In June 2016, Minnesota Power filed a revised EITE petition with the MPUC which included additional information on the net benefits analysis, limits on eligible customers and term lengths for the EITE discount. The rate adjustments are intended to be revenue and cash flow neutral to Minnesota Power. The MPUC approved a reduction in rates for EITE customers in a December&#160;2016 order and subsequently approved cost recovery in an order dated April&#160;20,&#160;2017; collection of the discount was subject to the MPUC&#8217;s review of Minnesota Power&#8217;s compliance filing implementing approval of a recovery mechanism. On September&#160;29,&#160;2017, Minnesota Power informed its EITE customers that it has suspended the EITE discount due to a concern it is not revenue and cash flow neutral to Minnesota Power based on an MPUC decision at a hearing on September&#160;7,&#160;2017, as well as the interim rate reduction and upcoming decisions in its 2016 general rate case.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 6.&#160;REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Electric Rates (Continued)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">FERC-Approved Wholesale Rates. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Minnesota Power has </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">16</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> non-affiliated municipal customers in Minnesota. SWL&amp;P is a Wisconsin utility and a wholesale customer of Minnesota Power.

No termination notice may be given for this contract prior to June&#160;30,&#160;2025. The wholesale electric service contracts with SWL&amp;P and another municipal customer are effective through October&#160;31, 2020, and June&#160;30,&#160;2019, respectively. Under the agreement with SWL&amp;P, no termination notice may be given prior to October 31,&#160;2017. The other municipal customer provided termination notice for its contract in June&#160;2016. Minnesota Power currently provides approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">29</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MW of average monthly demand to this customer. The rates included in these </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> contracts are set each July&#160;1 based on a cost-based formula methodology, using estimated costs and a rate of return that is equal to Minnesota Power&#8217;s authorized rate of return for Minnesota retail customers (currently </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.38 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">).

No termination notices may be given prior to December&#160;31,&#160;2021.

In a February&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s updated customer billing rates which allows Minnesota Power to charge retail customers on a current basis for the costs of constructing certain transmission facilities plus a return on the capital invested. As a result of the MPUC approval of the certificate of need for the GNTL in 2015, the project is eligible for cost recovery under the existing transmission cost recovery rider. Minnesota Power is funding the construction of the GNTL with a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro (see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Great Northern Transmission Line</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">), and anticipates including its portion of the investments and expenditures for the GNTL in future transmission cost recovery filings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Renewable Cost Recovery Rider.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> Minnesota Power has an approved cost recovery rider in place for investments and expenditures related to Bison and the restoration and repair of Thomson. The cost recovery rider allows Minnesota Power to charge retail customers on a current basis for the costs of constructing certain renewable investments plus a return on the capital invested. Updated customer billing rates for the renewable cost recovery rider were approved by the MPUC at a hearing on September&#160;28,&#160;2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In a November&#160;2016 order, the MPUC directed Minnesota Power to attribute all North Dakota investment tax credits realized from Bison to Minnesota Power regulated retail customers. As a result of the adverse regulatory outcome, Minnesota Power recorded a regulatory liability and a reduction in operating revenue of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$15&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in the third quarter of 2016. The North Dakota investment tax credits previously recognized as income tax credits in Corporate and Other were reversed in 2016 resulting in an approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> charge to net income in the third quarter of 2016. In December 2016, Minnesota Power submitted a request for reconsideration with the MPUC. In an order dated February&#160;14,&#160;2017, the MPUC decided to reconsider its November&#160;2016 order. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At a hearing on September 28, 2017, the MPUC modified its November 2016 order to allow Minnesota Power to account for North Dakota investment tax credits based on the long&#8209;standing regulatory precedents of stand-alone allocation methodology of accounting for income taxes. As a result of the favorable regulatory outcome, Minnesota Power recorded a reduction in its regulatory liability and an increase in operating revenue of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$14 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in the third quarter of 2017.

At a hearing on October 19, 2017, the MPUC adopted a three-year pilot program to implement certain procedural reforms to the Minnesota utilities&#8217; automatic fuel adjustment clause (FAC) for fuel and purchased power. The decision, subject to an MPUC order, would change the method of accounting for all Minnesota electric utilities to a monthly budgeted, forwarded&#8209;looking FAC with a subsequent prudence review and true-up to actual allowed costs on an annual basis. The annual budget projection filing would also include an adjustment to the base cost of fuel. The MPUC will seek input from the utilities and other stakeholders on the detailed implementation steps and transition accounting needed to adopt the change in regulatory accounting method from the current FAC. Transition considerations would need to include the recovery of the current regulatory asset for deferred fuel costs consistent with other regulatory accounting transition precedents for similar matters. Other details of the transition including budgeting methodology and approval, tracker accounting for the differences between actual costs and the budgeted amounts, and the annual true-up and collection or refund process to customers will be determined by the MPUC upon consideration of each utility&#8217;s compliance filings. Based on the discussion at the October&#160;19,&#160;2017 hearing, this pilot is not expected to start until mid-2019. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">2016 Wisconsin General Rate Case. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2016, SWL&amp;P filed a rate increase request with the PSCW requesting an average increase of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3.1 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for retail customers.

The 2015 IRP also contained steps in Minnesota Power&#8217;s </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> strategic plan including the economic idling of Taconite Harbor Units 1 and 2 which occurred in September 2016, the ceasing of coal-fired operations at Taconite Harbor in 2020, and the addition of between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">200</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;MW and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">300</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MW of natural gas-fired generation in the next decade. In a July&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved Minnesota Power&#8217;s 2015 IRP with modifications. The order accepted Minnesota Power&#8217;s plans for Taconite Harbor, directed Minnesota Power to retire Boswell Units 1 and 2 no later than 2022, required an analysis of generation and demand response alternatives to be filed with a natural gas resource proposal, and required Minnesota Power to conduct request for proposals for additional wind, solar and demand response resource additions subject to further MPUC approvals. In October&#160;2016, Minnesota Power announced Boswell Units 1 and 2 will be retired in 2018. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On July&#160;28,&#160;2017, Minnesota Power submitted a resource package to the MPUC requesting approval of PPAs for the output of a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">250</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MW wind energy facility and a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MW solar energy facility as well as approval of a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">250</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MW natural gas energy PPA.

In 2015, a certificate of need was approved by the MPUC. Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Transmission Cost Recovery Rider</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020. Total project cost in the U.S., including substation work, is estimated to be between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$560 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$710&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, of which Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion is expected to be between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$300 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$350 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">; the difference will be recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro as contributions in aid of construction. Total project costs of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$66.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> have been incurred through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, of which </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$36.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> has been recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Manitoba Hydro must obtain regulatory and governmental approvals related to a new transmission line in Canada.

private placement market. The Notes were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to institutional accredited investors. The Notes bear interest at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3.11 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and mature on June 1, 2027. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December&#160;1,&#160;2017. ALLETE has the option to prepay all or a portion of the Notes at its discretion, subject to a make-whole provision. The Notes are subject to additional terms and conditions which are customary for these types of transactions.

The Term Loan is an unsecured, single draw loan that is due on August 25, 2020, and may be prepaid at any time subject to a make-whole provision. The interest rate on the Term Loan is equal to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">LIBOR</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> plus </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.025 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

In addition, our lines of credit and letters of credit supporting certain long-term debt arrangements contain financial covenants. Our compliance with financial covenants is not dependent on debt ratings. The most restrictive financial covenant requires ALLETE&#160;to maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as the amounts are calculated in accordance with the respective long-term debt arrangements) of less than or equal to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">0.65 to 1.00</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, measured quarterly. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, our ratio was approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">0.42 to 1.00</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Failure to meet this covenant would give rise to an event of default if not cured after notice from the lender, in which event ALLETE may need to pursue alternative sources of funding. Some of ALLETE&#8217;s debt arrangements contain &#8220;cross-default&#8221; provisions that would result in an event of default if there is a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that would result in an acceleration of payments due. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30,&#160;2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, ALLETE was in compliance with its financial covenants.</font></div></div><span></span>

Based on this approval, Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion of the investments and expenditures for the project are eligible for cost recovery under its existing transmission cost recovery rider and are anticipated to be included in future transmission cost recovery filings. (See Note 6. Regulatory Matters.) Also in 2015, the FERC approved our request to recover on construction work in progress related to the GNTL from Minnesota Power&#8217;s wholesale customers. In an April&#160;2016 order, the MPUC approved the route permit for the GNTL which largely follows Minnesota Power&#8217;s preferred route, including the international border crossing, and in November&#160;2016, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, which was the final major regulatory approval needed before construction in the U.S. could begin. Site clearing and pre-construction activities commenced in the first quarter of 2017 with construction expected to be completed in 2020. Total project cost in the U.S., including substation work, is estimated to be between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$560 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$710&#160;million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, of which Minnesota Power&#8217;s portion is expected to be between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$300 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$350 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">; the difference will be recovered from a subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro as contributions in aid of construction.

A number of regulatory changes to the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and various waste management requirements have recently been promulgated by both the EPA and state authorities. Minnesota Power&#8217;s facilities are subject to additional regulation under many of these regulations. In response to these regulations, Minnesota Power is reshaping its generation portfolio over time to reduce its reliance on coal, has installed cost-effective emission control technology, and advocates for sound science and policy during rulemaking implementation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We consider our businesses to be in substantial compliance with currently applicable environmental regulations and believe all necessary permits have been obtained. We anticipate that with many state and federal environmental regulations finalized, or to be finalized in the near future, potential expenditures for future environmental matters may be material and may require significant capital investments. Minnesota Power has evaluated various environmental compliance scenarios using possible outcomes of environmental regulations to project power supply trends and impacts on customers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We review environmental matters on a quarterly basis. Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. Accruals are adjusted as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties.

Minnesota Power received an additional NOV in 2011 alleging that two projects undertaken at Rapids Energy Center in 2004 and 2005 should have been reviewed under the NSR requirements and that the Rapids Energy Center&#8217;s Title V permit was violated. Minnesota Power reached a settlement with the EPA regarding these NOVs and entered into a Consent Decree which was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota in&#160;2014. The Consent Decree provided for, among other requirements, more stringent emissions limits at all affected units, the option of refueling, retrofits or retirements at certain small coal units, and the addition of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">200</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MW of wind energy. Provisions of the Consent Decree require that, by no later than December 31, 2018, Boswell Units 1 and 2 must be retired, refueled, repowered, or emissions rerouted through existing emission control technology at Boswell. In October 2016, Minnesota Power announced that Boswell Units 1 and 2 will be retired in 2018 as part of its </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EnergyForward </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">strategic plan.

The EPA published the final MATS rule in the Federal Register in&#160;2012, addressing such emissions from coal-fired utility units greater than 25 MW. In the final MATS rule, the EPA established categories of HAPs, including mercury, trace metals other than mercury, acid gases, dioxin/furans and organics other than dioxin/furans. The EPA also established emission limits for the first three categories of HAPs and work practice standards for the remaining categories. Affected sources were required to be in compliance with the rule by April 2015, or April 2016 if granted an extension. Construction on the project to implement the Boswell Unit 4 mercury emissions reduction plan was completed in 2015. Investments and compliance work previously completed at Boswell Unit 3, including emission reduction investments completed in 2009, meet the requirements of the MATS rule. The conversion of Laskin Units&#160;1 and 2 to natural gas in 2015 positioned those units for MATS compliance. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded an earlier U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decision on the MATS rule. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was unreasonable for the EPA to deem cost of compliance irrelevant in determining that regulation of emissions of hazardous air pollutants from power plants was &#8220;appropriate and necessary&#8221; under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The MATS rule remains in effect until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit acts on the remand. In 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected a motion by utilities and states to vacate the MATS rule, instead ordering the rule to remain in effect while the EPA completes its review. In April 2016, the EPA announced its determination that the MATS rule is appropriate and necessary, when also considering cost of compliance. The outcome of these proceedings is not expected to have a material impact on Minnesota Power generation due to emission reduction obligations under the Minnesota Mercury Emissions Reduction Act and the Consent Decree.

Major existing sources had until January 2016, to achieve compliance with the final rule and July 2016, to perform initial compliance demonstrations. Minnesota Power&#8217;s Hibbard Renewable Energy Center and Rapids Energy Center are subject to this rule and are currently in compliance. Compliance consisted largely of adjustments to our operating practices; therefore, the costs for complying with the final rule were not material.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> The EPA is required to review the NAAQS every five years. If the EPA determines that a state&#8217;s air quality is not in compliance with the NAAQS, the state is required to adopt plans describing how it will reduce emissions to attain the NAAQS. These state plans often include more stringent air emission limitations on sources of air pollutants than the NAAQS. Four NAAQS have either recently been revised or are currently proposed for revision, as described below.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Ozone NAAQS. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The EPA has proposed more stringent control related to emissions that result in ground level ozone. In 2010, the EPA proposed to revise the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb) and to adopt a secondary standard for the protection of sensitive vegetation from ozone-related damage. In 2015, the EPA published the final rule in the Federal Register revising the eight-hour ozone standard to 70 ppb with a secondary standard also set at 70 ppb. All areas of Minnesota currently meet the new standard based on the most recent available ambient monitoring data; however, some areas in the metropolitan Twin Cities and southwest portion of the state are close to exceeding the standard. As a result, voluntary efforts to reduce ozone continue in the state. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">No</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> additional costs for compliance are anticipated at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Particulate Matter NAAQS. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The EPA finalized the Particulate Matter NAAQS in&#160;2006.

Certain portions of the CAP directly address electric utility GHG emissions. On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth that rescinded the CAP.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">EPA Regulation of GHG Emissions.&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2010, the EPA issued the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title&#160;V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule (Tailoring Rule). The Tailoring Rule establishes permitting thresholds required to address GHG emissions for new facilities, existing facilities that undergo major modifications and other facilities characterized as major sources under the Clean Air Act&#8217;s Title V program. For our existing facilities, the rule does not require amending our existing Title&#160;V operating permits to include GHG requirements; however, GHG requirements may be added to our existing Title&#160;V operating permits by the MPCA as these permits are renewed or amended.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In late 2010, the EPA issued guidance to permitting authorities and affected sources to facilitate incorporation of the Tailoring Rule permitting requirements into the Title V and PSD permitting programs. The guidance stated that the project-specific, top&#8209;down Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determination process used for other pollutants will also be used to determine BACT for GHG emissions. Through sector-specific white papers, the EPA also provided examples and technical summaries of GHG emission control technologies and techniques the EPA considers available or likely to be available to sources. It is possible that these control technologies could be determined to be BACT on a project-by-project basis.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the aspect of the Tailoring Rule that established higher permitting thresholds for GHG than for other pollutants subject to PSD; however, the court also upheld the EPA&#8217;s ability to require BACT for GHG from sources already subject to regulation under PSD. Minnesota Power&#8217;s coal-fired generating facilities are already subject to regulation under PSD, so we anticipate that ultimately PSD for GHG will apply to our facilities, but the timing of the promulgation of a replacement for the Tailoring Rule is uncertain. The PSD applies to existing facilities only when they undertake a major modification that increases emissions. At this time, we are unable to predict the compliance costs that we might incur.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In October 2016, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to revise its PSD and Title V regulatory provisions concerning GHG emissions. In this proposed rule, the EPA proposes to amend its regulations to clarify that a source&#8217;s obligation to obtain a PSD or Title V permit is triggered only by non-GHG pollutants. If the PSD or Title V permitting requirements are triggered by non-GHG, NSR pollutants, then these programs will also apply to the source&#8217;s GHG emissions. The proposed rule, as currently written, is not expected to have a material impact on the Title V permitting for current operations. It is uncertain how the Title V permitting requirements will be affected by the March 28, 2017, Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 13.&#160;COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Environmental Matters (Continued)</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2014, the EPA announced a proposed rule under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act for existing power plants entitled &#8220;Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Generating Units&#8221;, also referred to as the Clean Power Plan (CPP). The EPA issued the final CPP in 2015, together with a proposed federal implementation plan and a model rule for emissions trading. Petitions for review of the rule were filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In February&#160;2016, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order staying the effectiveness of the rule until after the appellate court process is complete. In September 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia heard oral arguments and is currently deliberating. The EPA is precluded from enforcing the CPP while the U.S. Supreme Court stay is in force; however, the MPCA has been holding a series of meetings on the CPP for educational and planning purposes in the interim. Minnesota Power has been actively involved in these MPCA meetings, and is closely monitoring the appeals process.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If upheld, the CPP would establish uniform CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> emission performance rates for existing fossil fuel-fired and natural gas-fired combined cycle generating units, setting state-specific goals for CO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sub style="vertical-align:bottom;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">2</sub></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> emissions from the power sector. State goals were determined based on CPP source-specific performance emission rates and each state&#8217;s mix of power plants. The EPA maintains such goals are achievable if a state undertakes a combination of measures across its power sector that constitutes the EPA&#8217;s guideline for a Best System of Emission Reductions (BSER). BSER is comprised of three building blocks: 1) improved fossil fuel power plant efficiency, 2) increased reliance on low-emitting power sources by generating more electricity from existing natural gas combined-cycle units, and 3) building more zero- and low-emitting power sources, including renewable energy.

The regulatory review initiated by the March 28, 2017, Executive Order titled Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth is directed to include Section 111(b) and 111(d) CPP provisions. In addition, the EPA has filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to hold CPP-related litigation in abeyance while the EPA is reviewing the rule. On October 10, 2017, the EPA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking, proposing to repeal the CPP. Minnesota Power continues to monitor the status of the CPP and related matters.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">State goals under the CPP are expressed as both mass-based and rate-based, and include interim goals to be met over the years 2022 through 2029, as well as a final goal to be met in 2030 and thereafter. Under the original schedule for the CPP, each state would have been required to develop a SIP by September 2016, or by September 6, 2018, if granted an extension. Due to the U.S. Supreme Court order staying the effectiveness of the CPP, those SIP submittal dates are not currently in effect. If the CPP is upheld at the completion of the appellate court process, all of the CPP regulatory deadlines are expected to be reset based on the length of time that the appeals process takes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In developing its plan, a state may choose to meet either the mass-based or the rate-based goals.

The proposed regulations would require existing large power plants and manufacturing facilities that withdraw greater than 25&#160;percent of water from adjacent water bodies for cooling purposes, and have a design intake flow of greater than 2 million gallons per day, to limit the number of aquatic organisms that are impacted by the facility&#8217;s intake structure or cooling system. The Section 316(b) rule was effective in 2014. The Section 316(b) standards will be implemented through NPDES permits issued to the covered facilities with compliance timing dependent on individual NPDES renewal schedules. No NPDES permits for Minnesota Power generating facilities have been re-issued containing Section 316(b) requirements since the final rule was published, so at this time we are unable to determine the final cost of compliance. Should the MPCA require significant modifications to Minnesota Power&#8217;s intake structures, a preliminary assessment indicates costs of compliance up to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$15 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> over the next five years.

On April 12, 2017, the EPA published in the Federal Register the postponement of certain compliance deadlines and formally announced that it would reconsider the final ELG rule.&#160;Under the ELG rule schedule, required compliance activity deadlines could have been in place as soon as November 1, 2018. These deadlines could have included prescriptive wastewater treatment technology installation, as well as a ban on bottom ash contact water discharges.&#160;If the EPA&#8217;s reconsideration results in the rule being revised or rescinded, the authority to regulate bottom ash transport water and FGD wastewater would fall under existing Effluent Guidelines Limits and state resource agency purview. On September 13, 2017, the EPA formally announced a two-year postponement of the ELG compliance date to November 1, 2020, while the agency reconsiders bottom ash transport water and FGD wastewater provisions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are evaluating the final ELG rule&#8217;s potential impact on Minnesota Power&#8217;s operations, primarily at Boswell. Boswell currently discharges bottom ash contact water through its NPDES permit, and also has a closed-loop FGD system that does not currently discharge, but may do so in the future. Under the final ELG rule, bottom ash discharge would not be allowed and bottom ash contact water would either need to be re-used in a closed-loop process, routed to a FGD scrubber, or the bottom ash handling system would need to be converted to a dry process. If the FGD wastewater is discharged in the future, it would require additional wastewater treatment. Efforts have been underway at Boswell for several years to reduce the amount of water discharged and evaluate potential re-use options in its plant processes. Additional efforts are underway to determine if land application of certain wastewater streams under a state disposal system may be feasible.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At this time, we cannot estimate what compliance costs we might incur related to these or other potential future water discharge regulations; however, the costs could be material, including costs associated with retrofits for bottom ash handling, pond dewatering, pond closure, and wastewater treatment and reuse.

Minnesota Power has agreed to post the required CCR information for the Taconite Harbor landfill on Minnesota Power&#8217;s website while the CCR issue is resolved. Minnesota Power continues to work on minimizing costs through evaluation of beneficial re-use and recycling of CCR and CCR-related waters.

Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings, thus eliminating the requirement to classify the excess tax benefit and deficiencies as additional paid-in capital. Under the new guidance, an entity makes an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected forfeiture awards or account for forfeitures as they occur. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a less than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> impact to income tax expense (benefit) annually.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 1.

The clarifying guidance will also impact other areas including the accounting for goodwill and consolidation. This accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2017, the FASB issued additional clarifying guidance regarding circumstances where changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under ASC&#160;718. The guidance provides specific situations that would be excluded from effects of a modification including if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification are the same before and after modification. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after adoption. This accounting guidance was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2017 and did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Recently Issued Pronouncements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step two of the goodwill impairment test that requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The updated guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit&#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted on a prospective basis. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. Under the revised guidance of ASC 715, an entity shall present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The guidance also allows only the service cost component of the periodic cost to be eligible for capitalization. The standard will be applied retrospectively for income statement presentation, and prospectively for capitalization of service cost components. We do not expect there to be a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements with the adoption of the updated guidance which is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers by providing a single comprehensive model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of September 30, 2017, the Company has reviewed all of its revenue streams and contracts for its regulated businesses, completing the preliminary evaluations of the impact of this guidance. Based on this review, the Company does not expect the guidance to materially affect the results of its regulated operations, which represent the majority of revenue. Our review and analysis of the Company&#8217;s energy infrastructure and related services and corporate and other businesses is in progress and we similarly do not expect the guidance to impact the results of these businesses. Management continues to evaluate the need for additional disclosures to meet the requirements of the new standard following adoption. The Company will adopt and implement the new guidance on a modified retrospective basis which requires application of standards to all contracts with customers effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative impact on contracts with performance obligations not yet satisfied as of December 31, 2017, recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 1.

Under the revised guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a &#8220;right-of-use&#8221; asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The accounting for leases by lessors and the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from leases are not expected to significantly change as a result of the updated guidance. The revised guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the revised lease guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires entities to measure their investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the practicability exception. The practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will result in a cumulative&#8209;effect adjustment to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the fiscal year of adoption. We have performed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of this update, and based on that evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero&#8209;coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the presentation of restricted cash in the Company&#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The update requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The guidance will result in changes to the Company&#8217;s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end&#8209;of&#8209;period cash and cash equivalents totals when adopted for our fiscal year beginning January&#160;1,&#160;2018. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. </font></div></div><span></span>

Such securities are reported at fair value; unrealized gains (losses) related to Available-for-sale Securities are excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity (other comprehensive income), unless the Available-for-sale security is designated as a hedge or is determined to have had an other than temporary decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis. All or a portion of the unrealized holding gain (loss) of an Available-for-sale security that is designated as being hedged in a fair value hedge is recognized in earnings during the period of the hedge, as are other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for investments in equity securities and debt securities that an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for debt securities categorized as Available-for-sale that an entity does not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis are bifurcated into credit losses and losses related to all other factors. Other than temporary declines in fair value below cost basis related to credit losses are recognized in earnings, and losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income.</p></div>

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>
