Electric Supply Planning

NorthWestern submits an electricity supply resource plan to our state regulatory commission every 2 to 3 years. These plans serve to inform and support the resource management decisions necessary to ensure a reliable and affordable supply of electricity for all of our customers. They evaluate our current portfolio of electricity generation resources and identify our future needs over a 20-year forecast period. Get involved and stay in touch by signing up for email updates.
