ABOUT MYSTIC AND PPL MONTANA
Framed by the rugged snow capped peaks of the Beartooth Mountains
and the Custer National Forest, PPL Montana's Mystic Hydroelectric
Project is surrounded by a breathtaking wilderness landscape that
supports diverse aquatic, fisheries and wildlife resources, native
habitats and unique geological features. Anglers, hikers, and other
outdoor enthusiasts seek this setting from late spring to early
fall.
Built in 1925, the 12.5 megawatt Mystic facility is on West Rosebud
Creek in the Beartooth Mountains, 75 miles southwest of Billings,
Montana. It is one of 11 hydroelectric dams and one storage reservoir
operated by PPL Montana, whose 500 employees work to produce safe,
reliable energy to light homes and businesses across Montana.
Like Mystic Dam, many of PPL Montana's power plants operate in
some of the most beautiful areas of our state. The company takes
that responsibility seriously and has committed over $25 million
over the next decade for recreation, fisheries, water quality, wildlife,
habitat and cultural resource enhancements on the Montana river
systems we use to generate electric power.
Like all Montanans, we at PPL Montana want to preserve the health
of these natural resources for generations to come.
