90% carbon reduction by 2045
NorthWestern Energy commits to reduce the carbon intensity of
our electric energy portfolio for Montana 90% by 2045.*
As compared with our 2010 carbon intensity as a baseline
Already over 60% carbon free
Today, NorthWestern Energy serves Montana with an electric
portfolio that is over 60% carbon free and more than two times
better than the total U.S electric power industry (28% carbon free
- 2018 metric). Over the last decade, we have already reduced
the carbon intensity of our energy generation in Montana by
more than 50%.
How we're going to get there
Our vision for the future builds on the progress we have already
made. Already, the foundation of our energy generation is our
hydro system, which is 100% carbon free and is available
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Wind generation is a close
second and continues to grow. While utility-scale solar energy
