Mountain States Transmission Intertie (MSTI)
NorthWestern Energy (NorthWestern), 40 East Broadway, Butte, MT 59701, has
submitted a Montana Major Facility Siting Act (MSFA) application to the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to construct a 500 kV electric
transmission line. NorthWestern proposes to construct, operate, and
maintain the line from Montana to Idaho. As proposed, the line would
extend from a new substation approximately 5 miles south of Townsend, MT
through the Whitehall and Butte areas to a enlarged Mill Creek substation east
of Anaconda and then south along the Interstate 15 corridor in Montana to the
Midpoint Substation in south central Idaho.
