Northwestern Energy – At a glance Montana, South Dakota & Nebraska An economic development fact sheet – April 2017

Twice a year with the help of several departments and Corporate Communications, the NorthWestern Energy Economic Development Department updates two documents: Montana At A Glance and South Dakota/Nebraska At A Glance. These documents are overviews on the company, our operations and how our rates compare to other utilities in our region. These documents were just updated with year-end 2016 numbers for NorthWestern Energy and the rates of other utilities that were available as of July 2016. In addition, twice a year we update a Rate Comparison Tool, which is an online rate comparison tool to help you estimate the cost difference of monthly electricity and/or natural gas bills for different utilities and cities in the USA. These documents are now available on our NorthWestern Energy website at:
