Large wind farm slated for Columbus, Montana

December 8, 2023/

Beaver Creek will be Montana’s second largest wind farm, on scale with the Pryor Mountain Wind Project built by PacifiCorp near Bridger in 2021. Over 25 years, Beaver Creek should contribute $150 million in taxes to Stillwater County, which has emerged as a Montana renewable energy hub.

Puget Sound Energy said it will build a 248-megawatt wind farm in the Beaver Creek area southwest of Columbus by 2025, with the potential to add more generating turbines and batteries for power storage in later phases.
