Northwestern Energy inks power agreement with AI data center planned for Yellowstone County


The data center in question would require virtually all of the electricity NorthWestern’s power plants are capable of generating.

NorthWestern, Montana’s largest regulated utility, wrote in a press release that the collaboration “reflects our commitment to innovation, economic development and delivering high-quality energy services.” “We’re actively working with Quantica to optimize the transmission infrastructure and generation resources needed to support this project,” NorthWestern CEO Brian Bird said in the press release sent Wednesday.
