Dear NWE and PSC: The power to keep MT families safe is in your hands
Last month's hurricane-level windstorm in Missoula rattled our community. Unfortunately, extreme weather events like this are projected to become more frequent and intense in the coming years due to climate change. Let this be a wakeup call to NorthWestern Energy leadership and their regulator, the Public Service Commission: The time to invest in clean energy is NOW. Our safety is at stake.
Enough Is Enough, NWE
On the heels of last month's storm and record-breaking heat, Northwestern Energy announced it will soon triple its use of coal in Montana (by acquiring more shares of Colstrip).
Speaking Up for a Livable Future
Montanans want an energy plan that protects our pocketbooks, families, and futures. It is long past time for NorthWestern Energy to acknowledge that, and to follow through on their promise to “deliver a bright future” by transitioning to clean and affordable energy NOW.
Today (August 28) is the FINAL DAY to submit comments to the Public Service Commission on NorthWestern Energy’s Integrated Resource Plan! Send your written comment to pschelp@mt.gov and include “Regarding docket 2022.11.102” in the subject line.

This plan will determine how energy is produced for the majority of our municipalities over the next 20-30 years, so it is hugely important that we raise our voices and demand clean and affordable energy NOW! Read on to find out how you can take action.
