Large proposed wind farm in Montana, with battery storage, asks PSC to set rate
August 28, 2018 /
A proposed 320-megawatt wind farm in south-central Montana – including battery storage for its power – is asking state regulators to settle a price dispute with Montana’s largest utility, so it can proceed with the project.
Caithness Beaver Creek formally asked the state Public Service Commission this month to set the rate it will be paid by NorthWestern Energy, saying negotiations had broken down with the utility.
Beaver Creek developers say the project on farmland north of Columbus will create 350 jobs during construction, 40 jobs to operate the system and $4 million a year in property taxes for Stillwater and Sweet Grass counties.
