NorthWestern Energy in Hot Water Again

(NorthWestern Energy) The Montana Public Service Commission voted unanimously to approve a Notice of Commission Action finding NorthWestern Energy’s recent response to its rate adjustment application again failing to meet the Commission’s “minimum filing standards”.

This is the second time this month that NorthWestern energy has been the subject of such action, with an August 6th filing tallying nine “deficiencies that impair reasonable judgements of the merits” in the application process.

This process comes as NorthWestern energy is attempting to revise its electric and natural gas rates, as well as service schedules and cost allocation.

NorthWestern energy has been given one week to respond. New Media Broadcasters will be following this story as it unfolds.
