Senators hijack bill, revive Colstrip legislation

TOM LUTEY Another attempt to shift Colstrip Power Plant expenses onto NorthWestern Energy customers surfaced Friday as Senate Republicans hijacked a water and sewer bill, amending it with language benefiting the state’s largest monopoly utility. The title of House Bill 695 still suggests it remedies public water supply disputes, but seven lines into the bill, there’s now an abrupt turn toward NorthWestern Energy and its ongoing challenges at Colstrip Power Plant. The amendment was made Friday morning by the Senate Natural Resources Committee and passed on a partisan vote of 7 to 5. The bill now guarantees that NorthWestern’s 379,000 Montana customers will pay for replacement power, should Colstrip break down or go offline for testing as is has twice in recent years.
