This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Montana, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Montana had a total summer capacity of 6,373 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 27,797 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 50.7% coal, 36.0% hydroelectric, 8.5% wind, 2.9% natural gas, 1.7% petroleum, 0.1% biomass and 0.1% solar. Small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 24 GWh to the state's electrical grid. This compares as nearly equal to the generation by Montana's utility-scale solar PV plants.[1]

Sources of Montana utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2021 [1]

  Coal (43.2%)
  Natural Gas (2.0%)
  Hydroelectric (39.9%)
  Wind (11.5%)
  Biomass (0.1%)
  Solar (0.1%)
  Petroleum (1.8%)
  Other (1.2%)

During 2019, Montana exported about one-half of the electricity generated by its power plants to other states. Montana has the largest recoverable deposits of coal in the nation, accounting for 30% of U.S. reserves. In recent years three-quarters of the coal mined in Montana has been exported, with over one-third going to Asia via western Canada.[3]

Nuclear power stations


Montana had no utility-scale plants that used fissile material as a fuel in 2019.[1]


Fossil-fuel power stations
