Coal is back on the menu at the Montana Senate where Republicans voted to make it easier for Colstrip Power Plant to cut ties with neighboring Rosebud Mine, or alter its coal supply.
The mine and power plant are a short walk away from each other, but have been miles apart on coal pricing in recent years. A pivot by Colstrip Power Plant owners to a different coal mine would likely be the end of Rosebud, which sells nearly all of its coal to Colstrip.
âWhat this does is it allows the plant at Colstrip to buy coal from different sources, and that allows the plant to be run for a cheaper price,â said Sen. Steve Fitzpatrick, Republican from Great Falls. âRight now, they have to get all the coal from the mine at the mouth. What this bill will allow them to do is get coal from other facilities they can bring it on in a train, they can bring it in somewhere else.â

Colstrip Power Plant operator and co-owner Talen Energy is eyeing a wind farm on the southeast Montana plains just outside the community where the coal-fired generator is located.
Documents obtained by The Billings Gazette show a targeted project area of roughly 14 square miles in Rosebud and Treasure counties where Talen Energy, in a joint venture with Pattern Energy, is pursuing lease agreements for a wind farm of unspecified capacity.
Both companies have energy interests in Montana currently. Talen has a 30% share of Colstrip Unit 3, a power plant facing increasing pressure to close by late 2025. Pattern owns the 80-megawatt Stillwater Wind Farm near Reed Point, which sells electricity to NorthWestern Energy.
