No. 27915 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATION BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF MONTANA In re NorthWestern Energy’s Application to Update QF-1 Tariff Rates and Terms Docket 2023.08.076 August 28, 2023 Notice of Application and Intervention Deadline 1. On August 24, 2023, NorthWestern Energy (“NorthWestern”) filed an Application to Update QF-1 Tariff Rates and Terms (“Application”) with the Montana Public Service Commission (“Commission”). In its Application, NorthWestern asks the Commission to update the standard rates paid to certain qualifying facilities (“QFs”) with nameplate generating capacity of three megawatts or less. Federal law requires NorthWestern to purchase energy and capacity from QFs at rates equal to the costs the QFs allow NorthWestern to avoid. 2. For energy purchases, NorthWestern proposes to pay QFs market-based rates from the Western Energy Imbalance Market at the time the QF delivers energy to NorthWestern. For capacity purchases, NorthWestern proposes to pay QFs based on fixed costs of capacity from a 50-MW aeroderivative combustion turbine (“AERO”) generating unit identified in NorthWestern’s 2023 integrated resource plan. NorthWestern’s proposal includes three different capacity rates based on the technology of the QF: $0.64 per kilowatt month (kW-month) for wind QFs, $0.40 per kW-month for solar QFs, and $1.51 per kW-month for hydro and any other type of QF. Finally, NorthWestern proposes to rely on the Western Resource Adequacy Program’s calculation of accredited capacity for existing resources in NorthWestern’s portfolio and for each eligible QF technology type. 3. A copy of the filing is publicly available at the Commission’s business office, 1701 Prospect Avenue, P.O. Box 202601, Helena, MT 59620-2601, and online at the Commission’s website (psc.mt.gov) under Docket No. 2023.08.076. A copy of the filing may also be available at the office of the Montana Consumer Counsel (“MCC”), which represents consumer interests before the Commission, 111 North Last Chance Gulch, Suite 1B, Helena, MT 59601-4144, (406) 444-2771. Interested parties can register on the Commission’s website to receive notice of filings in this docket. Instructions for subscribing to notices of filings in contested cases are available at psc.mt.gov/reddi-help. 4. The Commission invites any interested party affected by NorthWestern’s filing to intervene in this docket. To intervene, a party must file a petition to intervene with the Commission no later than September 18, 2023. A party seeking intervention must file an electronic petition on the Commission’s website at reddi.mt.gov. All filings must be made in REDDI and hard copies are not required.

Box 201703, Helena, MT 59620-1703 and to NorthWestern’s attorneys, Ann Hill and Sarah Norcott, 208 N. Montana, Suite 200, Helena MT 59601. 5. The Commission invites members of the public who do not wish to formally intervene to submit written public comments on the matter to the Commission at 1701 Prospect Avenue, P.O. Box 202601, Helena, MT 59620-2601 or by email to pschelp@mt.gov. Public comment may also be submitted in REDDI.
