NorthWestern Energy Files Notice for Natural Gas Rate Increases

  • On May 30, 2025, NorthWestern Energy submitted a notice to the Montana Public Service Commission requesting an adjustment to the charges for both primary and secondary natural gas users.
  • The request follows a July 2024 rate change filing and aims to address supply and distribution cost factors amid the PSC's delay in acting within nine months.
  • The proposed residential gas supply rate would rise from $0.2706599 to $0.3105127 per therm, affecting roughly 400,000 customers with an average bill increase of about $17 monthly starting July 1, 2025.
  • The filing reports a $1,618,113 under-collection on the deferred UGCA balance for the year ending June 30, 2024, and a $754,520 GTAC over-collection to be refunded over 12 months ending June 30, 2026.
  • The rate increase, tied partly to a $300 million gas plant near Laurel, is controversial for lacking prior regulator approval and could lead to refunds if hearings require rate reductions.
