Montana Public Service Commission asked to reconsider rate hike for NorthWestern Energy customers by 350 Montana and Broad Reach Power.

The Public Service Commission needs to reconsider its recent rate hike for NorthWestern Energy because its order invents a “magical” new standard to evaluate costs and sends shareholders $3.4 million that belongs to Montanas.

For more than a year, commissioners have talked about, as President Jim Brown has previously put it, “tightening up participation” in cases before the commission.
