NorthWestern Energy Files Application for Green Power Program with Montana PSC
NorthWestern Energy has submitted an application to the Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) for a proposed Green Power Program. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving NorthWestern Energy, the City of Missoula, Missoula County, and the City of Bozeman. The program aims to enable communities and businesses to support new, Montana-based renewable energy resources. It is designed to align with local sustainability goals, broaden customer choices, and help participants voluntarily achieve their renewable energy targets and environmental priorities. The filing includes a proposed tariff to establish the program, along with subscription agreements and customer forms. The application also details program eligibility, participation requirements, cost-recovery mechanisms, customer protections, and measures to ensure that non-participating customers do not incur additional costs.
