Washington State Senate passes bill involving Montana’s Colstrip coal fired energy plants

A bill that would authorize the state’s largest utility to create a fund to pay for the eventual shutdown of two coal-powered electricity plants in Montana easily passed the Washington State Senate on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 6248, which is being closely watched in Montana, passed by a vote of 42-7, and it now heads to the State House for consideration.

The bill was amended to remove any provisions calling for the closure of two older coal-fired plants located in the company town of Colstrip, Montana.
