Tune in to Voices of Montana's recent episode with NorthWestern Energy President & CEO Brian Bird to learn about the significant benefits of a federal proclamation that provides two years of relief from a new Environmental Protection Agency rule for the Colstrip Plant. This relief means our Montana customers will avoid hundreds of millions of dollars in costs associated with compliance for a regulation that would only marginally increase the Colstrip Plant’s air toxics efficiency. The Colstrip Plant remains a crucial part of our balanced generation portfolio, ensuring reliable power at reasonable costs for Montana residents. Brian Bird also talks with Voices of Montana Host Tom Schultz about settlements the Montana Consumer Counsel, which advocates for consumers in matters before the Montana Public Service Commission, other parties and NorthWestern Energy propose for electric and natural gas rates in our Montana regulatory rate review on Voices of Montana.
