Montana has delayed a decision on Northwestern Energy's $15 billion merger.
Missoula, MT, October 28, 2026 —
Montana has delayed a decision on Northwestern Energy’s proposed $15 billion merger. The available information does not specify when the delay was announced or when a decision is now expected.
Details about the process and the reasons for the delay were not provided. The information also does not identify which Montana body or official is responsible for the decision, describe the merger’s terms, or say whether any conditions have been proposed.
The reported figure is $15 billion. No further information was provided about how that amount was calculated or what assets or operations the merger would involve. The summary does not state whether the delay concerns a review, a hearing, or another step in the decision-making process.
It is therefore unclear from the available details what prompted the delay or what happens next. No revised timeline, response from Northwestern Energy, or additional information about the status of the merger was provided. The only confirmed development in the summary is that Montana has postponed a decision on the $15 billion merger.
