The supply rate has historically been about 300,000 tons annually.

Montana-Dakota Utilities is a division of MDU Resources Group.

The 874-acre Westmoreland Savage single pit surface complex produces approximately 350,000t of lignite annually. It first started producing in 1958.

It has operations in the Powder River Basin of Montana, sub-bituminous mining interests in Wyoming and lignite mining operations in Montana, North Dakota and Texas.
