Should Northwestern Energy buy more of Colstrip?
UPDATE:
Oct. 22, 2020 - According to MEIC, the PSC has CANCELED the final public listening session on 10/27/2020.
The PSC has indefinitely postponed (cancelled) the last public listening session on October 27th regarding NorthWestern's Application to purchase a larger share of Colstrip Unit 4; however, you still have time to speak up!
The PSC stated that the reason for the postponement is due to recent developments in Washington state that have made the deal uncertain. If and when the hearing is rescheduled, we will make sure to inform you of the time and place. However, the public hearing postponement does not mean that the fight is over.
Please take a few minutes and let the PSC know how you feel about NorthWestern's proposal.
You can still submit written comments to the PSC by emailing them to psc_utilitycomment@mt.gov (although this email address failed to work earlier this week it is now working again). You can find a fact sheet here detailing our expert analysis of this proposal, and links to the complete expert testimonies submitted by MEIC and the Montana Consumer Counsel at meic.org/Colstrip.
Speak up now or you could be forced to pay more for last century’s dirty old coal plant!
