electricity

Montanans have their own brand of charm that might raise an eyebrow or two from outsiders. Let’s take a closer look at what sets them apart.

"An 82-year-old woman who has lived here for more than five decades said she prayed to God for electricity and God brought the Montana linemen."

While households work to cover a 19% rate increase from NorthWestern Energy, the City of Missoula also is facing rising electrical costs, and a portion of that will be passed on to residents within the city's 52 street lighting districts.

While Northwestern Energy is proposing double digit rate hikes for electricity for their customers in the state, the co-op serving the Billings area is not raising rates, and doesn't plan to anytime soon.

We lost Colstrip 1 & 2, and now they want to tear down hydropower dams. This is one of the cleanest "greenest" forms of energy we have right now. Don't we need MORE electricity right now, rather than less?
