FILE - In this July 1, 2013 photo, gas emissions rises from a coal-burning power plant in Colstrip, Mont. NorthWestern Energy announced Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019, it was seeking regulatory approval to purchase Puget Sound Energy's 25% share of one of the four units for $1. It is also seeking permission from the Public Service Commission to acquire additional capacity on the Colstrip Power Transmission System for between $2.5 and $3.75 million. That would boost the South Dakota-based utility's ownership interest in the unit to 55% as other utilities are looking to unload their coal-generated power. (AP Photo/Matthew Brown, File)

Talen Energy, which owns 50 percent of the two Colstrip power plant units slated for closure by July 2022, has warned that the shutdown could come sooner if it does not receive tax relief or state assistance.
