Helena PSC approves $15.4 billion NorthWestern, Black Hills merger

HELENA, Mont. – NorthWestern Energy and Black Hills Corp. have cleared their final major hurdle for their multi-billion dollar merger. On Tuesday, the Montana Public Service Commission approved the $15.4 billion merger between NorthWestern Energy and Black Hills Corp. The vote was 3-2, with President Jeff Welborn and Commissioner Randy Pinocci opposing it. Montana was the last state to approve the merger, after South Dakota and Nebraska regulators approved it earlier this year. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission also approved the deal. NorthWestern has operated in Montana since 2002, when they acquired the transmission and distribution system of the Montana Power Company. They and Black Hills proposed the merger back in August of 2025. Once the two companies finalize the merger, the new utility will be named Bright Horizon Energy. The new company will be based in Rapid City, where Black Hills is headquartered, and NorthWestern CEO Brian Bird will serve as Bright Horizon’s new CEO. Representatives from both companies said during PSC hearings that the merger would not increase customer rates. In the immediate future, the operations of Montana’s utilities will continue to be located in Montana. The company also said they had no plans for any job cuts
