HEAR THE PUBLIC
Liz Harris, Jobs Now President and CEO of Flathead County Economic
Development Authority, stated the Port Authority has initiated a
study to try to seek new sources of power for Montana businesses
and consumers. She said the Columbia Falls Aluminum Company, which
is truly power dependant, employs 570 valley residents and is
severely threatened by the new deregulated energy environment.
Harris says power prices have been unpredictable since the
deregulation, ranging anywhere from $17.00 per megawatt hour to
$1, 000 per megawatt hour. She said the Port is looking for a source
of cost -based power and thanked the City for participating in the
study.
