NorthWestern Energy made bad gamble on gas prices, consumer advocate says
Summary by Ground News
Montana Consumer Counsel's Jayson Brown is asking regulators to deny NorthWestern Energy's request to add the $11 million to customer bills. The charge stems from natural gas purchases made by NorthWestern in 2022. The utility argued the purchase price stemmed from volatile gas prices related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that the company's purchasing decisions were prudent.
