Residential customers of NorthWestern Energy will be paying less on their monthly electric bills for now — even though the utility tried to “over-charge” them, according to regulatory staff.
The Montana Public Service Commission on Tuesday voted 4-0 to approve an interim order that temporarily lowers electric rates by roughly $8 a month for the typical customer and increases natural gas rates by $4.38 a month.
