Senators Tester and Daines tout Montana benefits of coming energy bills

Two bills up for votes in the U.S. Senate next week contain a lot of money for Montana’s power production sector.

Montana senators Steve Daines and Jon Tester each said the 2017 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act and the 2016 Energy Policy Modernization Act will bring assistance to both state programs and energy issues that Montana has a stake in.

The 2017 appropriations bill would allocate $37.5 billion for the Department of Energy and the Army Corps of Engineers. It cleared the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday with a nearly unanimous approval.
