Wind farm developers eye Montana school trust land
The state Department of Natural Resources and Conservation http://dnrc.mt.gov/ said Wednesday it would consider leasing almost 27,000 acres of school trust land in northcentral Montana to private developers interested in using the property as part of larger commercial wind farms.
Michael Sullivan with the DNRC said developers often use state land as part of wind farms that involve adjacent private land. The state charges a one-time installation fee of $2,500 a megawatt on state land, as well as 3 percent of gross annual revenues, or $3,000 for each megawatt, whichever is greater.
