Black Hills Power has been delivering energy for over 123 years. It was formed through the consolidation of several smaller electric suppliers in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. Black Hills Power is an investor-owned utility and is part of the Black Hills Corporation family. The utility serves 63,500 customers in 20 communities located in Western South Dakota, Northern Wyoming, and Southeastern Montana. Our customers use 1,501,805,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity at an average price of $0.0714 per kWh. Cost containment efforts and customer load growth have provided our customers with stable residential electricity costs and our commercial electricity costs that are declining in real terms, and have remained stable for the last 11 years.

An on-going process of reclamation at the mine restores the land to its original condition. Successful efforts have been made over the years to modify older power plants to meet stricter environmental standards, and new plants, such as Neil Simpson Station II, have been constructed with state-of-the-art equipment...

When Master Langworthy began his study of Jukite Ju-jitsu 1983 at the age of 29, he weighed over 270 lbs., had ulcers and high blood pressure and led a very sedentary life style - a trip up a flight of stairs left him winded.

One of Master Langworthya s most satisfying moments came in 1997 when he had the honor of presenting his son, Edward, with his Black Belt.
