A People-First Montana Solution To Establish Common-Sense Protections, Before It’s Too Late

Montanans need common-sense protections, fair rules, and transparency before unchecked data center development locks in costs, uses up and pollutes water, and alters our communities for generations.

Protect Our Wallets

  • Require a data center-specific utility rate class and protections 

  • Require load tariffs ensuring data centers pay their full, direct infrastructure costs

  • Zero cost-shifting to Montana ratepayers

  • Direct assignment of transmission upgrades to the industrial user

Protect Our Water

  • Establish data center-specific water use and protection requirements

  • Mandate transparent public review for all industrial water withdrawals tied to data centers

  • Close the exempt-well loophole that bypasses DNRC environmental oversight

  • Protect private property water rights in stressed basins

Protect Our Way of Life

  • Require data center transparency and proof of concept by showing complete energy, water, and full impacts

  • End non-transparent public approval processes — full disclosure and public participation before any decision-making

  • Establish durable, common-sense guardrails through legislation and rule-making

  • Ensure communities have a voice
