On October 20 and 27, you can submit public “in-person” or written comments on NorthWestern’s Application for pre-approval of an additional ownership share of Colstrip Unit 4. (Docket No. 2019.12.101.)
SIGN UP TO SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENT
The Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) public listening sessions for Docket No. 2019.12.101. will take place on October 20 and 27, from 4:00 to 8:00 PM each night (or earlier if public comment has concluded for the evening).
Here are the steps on how to provide public comment during the “in-person” listening sessions (provided by PSC):
Sign up on your own by emailing PSChelp@mt.gov, or call the Commission’s toll-free number at 800-646-6150 and leave a message. Include your name and your phone number or email address in your message.
Make sure to contact the Commission by 12:00 p.m. the day before the listening session you would like to attend (i.e., October 19 or 26, 2020), so that a Commission representative time to provide you instructions for participating in a listening session.
TALKING POINTS
Ask them to DENY the pre-approval. We need affordable, reliable renewables + storage. Ask them to protect our pocketbooks and our climate by denying pre-approval.
Northern Plains has excellent talking points.
MEIC also provides excellent background and talking points on their site.
HOW TO SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS
Anyone unable to attend the public listening sessions may submit written comments to the Commission. Written comments are not publicly available on the Commission’s website, but are reviewed by both Commission staff and Commissioners.
Written comments may be submitted via email to psc_utilitycomment@mt.gov.
