The Colstrip power plant in southeast Montana employs about 360 people and is partially owned by Puget Sound Energy (PSE). The plant consists of four separate units, each with its own boiler that collectively can produce 2094 megawatts of energy. The two oldest units are scheduled to close by 2022, a decision spurred by the plant’s difficult economics and a push toward cleaner energy. Castle Rock Lake in the foreground supplies water for the power plant and the city of Colstrip. Photographed on December 6, 2017. 204974 204974
