NorthWestern Energy and Montana Cities Seek Green Power Program Approval

NorthWestern Energy, joined by the City of Missoula, Missoula County and the City of Bozeman, filed a joint application with the Montana Public Service Commission to establish a Green Power Program that would let communities and businesses voluntarily support a Montana renewable energy resource, detailing the program structure, subscriptions, cost recovery and customer protections while ensuring non-participants do not pay. Officials described the filing as a milestone in a collaborative effort to expand renewable options for Montana customers and environments, highlighting a customer-driven approach and benefits to participating communities.
