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 nameplate megawatt Mystic facility is on
the West Rosebud Creek in the Beartooths, 75 miles southwest of
Billings, Montana. It’s 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.
