The new project would be the first pairing of wind and solar in Montana. Broad Reach is also a big developer of wind and solar backed by battery storage, which allows energy to flow onto the grid during times of peak demand when energy prices are more favorable and also when the sun isn’t shining and the wind doesn’t blow.

“Once completed, these projects will provide much needed reliability to the region’s grid while also contributing valuable local construction jobs and significant tax dollars to counties such as Yellowstone, Stillwater and Golden Valley.”
