NorthWestern Energy Files Annual Electricity Tracker
BUTTE, Mont. - NorthWestern Energy's average electric supply costs were lower than anticipated last year, according to company officials. NorthWestern recently filed its annual electricity supply cost tracker with the Montana Public Service Commission (MPSC).
Last year, the company estimated that the cost of electricity supply to customers would average $0.0405 per kilowatt hour (kWh) during the July-to-June tracker year, but the actual average cost ended up being $0.038 per kWh. Since NorthWestern adjusts the actual cost of electricity to customers on a monthly basis, customers have already received the benefit of the lower than expected costs.
