CEO: “We’re paying our own way for power, without increasing Montanans’ electricity bills for our project.”
Billings, Mont. (May 14, 2026) – Big Sky Digital Infrastructure (BSDI) leaders today reaffirmed their commitment to a “Pay Our Own Way” approach to power needed to serve the 5,100-acre campus near Broadview, Montana.
With Quantica Infrastructure, LLC (Quantica) developing the power needed to serve the campus, BSDI’s leaders are protecting Montana ratepayers while adding new generation resources that can support grid reliability throughout NorthWestern Energy’s (NWE) system.
Quantica’s CEO, John Chesser, explained the company’s commitment to pay its own way for power in the following statement:
“I’m proud that our leadership team has strong, deep roots in Montana. We understand and respect the Montana way of life, and we’re committed to protecting it.
“To support BSDI’s Campus, we’re pursuing a resilient, all-of-the-above power portfolio, including renewable and traditional energy resources, battery energy storage, and the evaluation of emerging energy technologies and carbon-reduction solutions. Our balanced approach is designed to deliver reliable power while complementing Montana’s broader energy mix.
“Most importantly, we’re paying our own way for power, without increasing Montanans’ electricity bills for our project. We’ll pay the cost of electricity infrastructure and any new power generation needed to serve our project.
“We’ll continue working with utilities and regulators to ensure the project is responsibly reviewed, permitted, and aligned with the community’s priorities. Our goal is to create good Montana jobs and increased opportunity for Montanans, all while being good stewards of our lands and resources.”
