Montana’s Congressman Greg Gianforte released the following statement after learning that Colstrip Units 1 & 2 are closing at the end of 2019. Talen Energy announced Tuesday in a press release of the closure.
“Colstrip has long provided affordable, reliable electricity to Montanans, but the war on coal has jeopardized Colstrip and good-paying jobs for hardworking Montanans. I’ll continue working to keep Units 3 and 4 operating, protect Colstrip and Montana jobs, and provide affordable electricity to all Montanans.”
More info will be provided in this week’s Yellowstone County News.
