Our Projects

Yellowstone County Generating Station provides on‑demand resources to support the variability of wind and solar projects coming onto our system and helps serve our customers during extended periods of peak demand.

Gridware allows us to continuously monitor our assets, so we are able to detect and mitigate issues before they manifest into an outage. This improves reliability for our customers while also reducing wildfire risk.

NorthWestern Energy will install nearly 553,000 new electric meters and gas modules in Montana, which will help improve service reliability.

NorthWestern Energy is launching a major project to upgrade the spillway of Black Eagle Dam on the Missouri River, enhancing the safety and reliability of the hydroelectric facility.

New gas infrastructure from East Helena, south, to the Three Forks area, will enhance service reliability for NorthWestern’s customers and add redundancy by linking the western and eastern portions of NorthWestern Energy’s natural gas system.

NorthWestern Energy is upgrading approximately 5.5 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline west of Birdseye Road, from the Silver City area near Lincoln Highway south to the Helena Junction area. The project will strengthen the natural gas infrastructure serving our customers. The project replaces existing 40-year-old natural gas transmission pipeline within the current pipeline easement.

Explore the Hub City Energy Park project and how it supports reliable energy, economic growth and future demand in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

We're replacing 17,000 NorthWestern Energy-owned streetlights and yard lights in South Dakota with LED lights. LEDs use 50% less electricity than traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights.

We're excited to bring commercial and residential natural gas service to the Tea and Harrisburg areas. We are proud to be a part of these communities and to be the trusted regional supplier to the area.
