Electric power keeps Dillon livable and growing
The Montana Power Company highlights Dillon and Beaverhead county as key beneficiaries of affordable, reliable electricity. Residents average 5,489 kWh yearly at 1.82 cents per kWh, with Dillon’s homes heating electrically and 1,499 county customers served. Major local employers and mineral operations rely on low-cost power to sustain mining, milling, and irrigation. The Grace Idaho Anaconda high‑voltage line and Dillon lines from Sheridan and Dillon-Salmon substation ensure continuous service even if one line fails.
