No. 29731 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATION BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF MONTANA In re NorthWestern Energy’s Bonneville Power Administration Residential Exchange Credit Filing Docket 2023.08.073 September 5, 2023 Notice of Application and Opportunity to Comment 1. The Northwest Power Act of 1980 established the Residential Exchange Program so that residential and small farm customers in the Pacific Northwest receive benefits from low-cost power provided by the Federal Columbia River Power System, as operated by the Bonneville Power Administration (“BPA”). This benefit includes an annual credit that customers of NorthWestern Energy (“NorthWestern”) receive from the BPA towards their monthly bill. 2. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on August 16, 2023, NorthWestern Energy (“NorthWestern”) requested the Montana Public Service Commission (“Commission”) increase its BPA residential Exchange Program Credit (“BPA Credit”) to reflect the current level of benefits that it will receive from BPA for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023. NorthWestern proposes that the rate change coincide with this date and begin on October 1, 2023. 3. In July 2023, BPA notified NorthWestern that the BPA Credit amount would increase from $4,150,054 to $5,921,657 for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Due to the increase in the credit, NorthWestern proposes to decrease rates for residential, residential employee, general service secondary, irrigation, and lighting customers. If approved, a typical residential customer using 750 kilowatt-hours per month would experience a decreased bill of $0.38 per month or $4.60 per year. The actual decrease amount depends on each customer’s class and usage. 4.
