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 an 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.
