Montana electric utility regulators are starting the approval process for a natural gas-fired plant in south-central Montana.
Regulators on the Montana Public Service Commission okayed NorthWestern Energy’s application for advance project approval Monday. The utility is seeking the go-ahead to acquire and build a 175-megawatt natural gas-fired plant in Laurel.
“Y’know we’re really looking at a pretty mundane procedural question here whether or not NorthWestern checked all the boxes necessary for us to accept the application,” says Montana Public Service Commission Vice chairman Brad Johnson.
NorthWestern’s application estimates the Laurel Generating Station along with 50-megawatts of newly acquired battery storage in Yellowstone County would increase the average residential customer’s monthly bill by roughly 6 dollars and 60 cents
