Washington state is phasing out coal by 2026, expanding Montana wind power despite rate hikes and local opposition.
Washington state is transitioning away from coal by 2026, prompting utilities like Puget Sound Energy to expand wind power from Montana, including the new 248-megawatt Beaver Creek project.
This shift, part of the 2019 Clean Energy Transformation Act, relies on Montana’s strong winds and transmission lines, though natural gas and hydropower remain necessary for grid stability.
The transition has led to an 18.6% rate increase over two years due to rising demand and infrastructure costs.
While Montana’s Stillwater County benefits economically from wind development, Washington faces slower progress due to local opposition.
