Efficiency Plus (E+), ranges from energy education to rebates, energy appraisals and custom incentives.

In Montana, E+ also includes small renewable generation resources and the E+ Green program that allows customers to support renewable generation through their electric bill.

Appraisal

The E+ Energy Appraisal for Businesses focuses on identifying electric conservation opportunities for small commercial customers on NorthWestern Energy's electric distribution system. Most commercial facilities qualify for this free service. Call for details.

This program targets facilities that more than likely would not consider a full energy study under the Business Partners program. In addition to lighting efficiency opportunities, many small businesses benefit from a greater understanding of where their energy dollar is going within their operation and how their operation and maintenance strategies can affect their energy charges.

Renewable Energy

Although all electric generation technologies have some environmental impact, some, which do not use fossil fuels, are considered widely to be more environmentally friendly than others. Our Universal Systems Benefit (USB) goal is to encourage the development of renewable energy resource projects that use environmentally friendly — or "green" — technology to generate electricity.In Montana.
