Expert Statements
Brian Bird, President and CEO of NorthWestern Energy
“The third quarter was a busy and productive one for NorthWestern. We continued to execute on our core business and remain focused on delivering long-term value for our customers, communities, and shareholders. Although the costs associated with our incremental ownership in Colstrip have created a temporary earnings headwind, this strategic decision helps ensure reliable energy for our customers and support economic development in Montana. Looking ahead, we are excited about the prospect of completing our merger with Black Hills and beginning the next chapter for our combined company, subject to final, satisfactory approval from the Montana Public Service Commission which is expected to consider the merger prior to November 12, 2026.”
