⚡ Powering the Future of Northwest Montana ⚡

Lincoln Electric Cooperative is supporting a new high-efficiency natural gas power project in northern Idaho, helping ensure reliable, affordable electricity for our members today and for years to come.

This next-generation facility will use advanced technology to produce more power with less fuel, making it one of the cleanest and most efficient plants in the region, with the potential to incorporate hydrogen in the future.

Why it matters:
When extreme weather hits or energy demand spikes, our communities need power they can count on. This project is designed to perform when it matters most, keeping homes warm, businesses running, and lights on across Northwest Montana.

“Our members need power they can count on at prices they can afford,” said GM Matt Quinn. “This is about planning ahead to keep electricity reliable and available when it matters most.”

Together with PNGC Power, we’re building a stronger, more resilient energy future for the Northwest.
