A divided state Public Service Commission this week rejected NorthWestern Energy’s http://www.northwesternenergy.com/ agreement to buy power from a new wind project at a cost lower than the utility is paying for power from hydroelectric dams purchased earlier this year.
The PSC voted 3-2 on Tuesday to reject an agreement between NorthWestern and Greenfield Wind, which is proposing a 25-megawatt wind-power project near Fairfield.
Under the agreement, Greenfield would have a 25-year contract to sell power to NorthWestern for about $54 per megawatt hour (mWh).
