Joint Operation
The dam and its related hydroelectric project are located inside the boundaries of the Flathead Indian Reservation, and operated jointly by PPL Montana, LLC (the successor to the Montana Power Company) and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Today it provides both power for PPL—enough for about 147,000 homes—and over $ 9 million in annual revenue for the tribes. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have the option of purchasing and taking over the dam in 2015.
