Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The electricity NorthWestern Energy provides to its Montana customers is nearly 60-percent carbon free, from the hydro system that is now dedicated to serve Montana customers, as well as from wind. The energy NorthWestern’s system produces is already lower in carbon than the EPA Clean Power Plan’s Montana target for 2030. And 80 percent of the energy efficiency achieved in Montana has occurred through NorthWestern Energy programs. These are basic facts everyone should celebrate.

Together, NorthWestern and our customers have proactively invested more than $1 billion in renewable energy in recent years. The plan, as it stands now, doesn’t recognize any of those investments.
