HELENA â Republicans in the Montana Senate Tuesday advanced the bill that guarantees NorthWestern Energy certain cost recovery, from its customers, if it acquires more power from the Colstrip coal-fired plants.
Senate Bill 379 spells out how state utility regulators must allow NorthWestern to pass very specific costs of any Colstrip acquisition on to ratepayers â if they approve that acquisition.
Sen. Steve Fitzpatrick, R-Great Falls and the sponsor of the bill, said NorthWestern and its Montana customers need the reliable power that would come from Colstrip, and that the bill merely spells out how the company will be fairly compensated for its costs.
