NorthWestern has long argued that wind energy be priced lower than energy from other sources like coal, gas and hydropower.

Caithness has asked that Beaver Creek’s electricity be priced at the same rate NorthWestern’s customers pay for electricity from the David Gates gas-fired power plant or Colstrip Unit 4, both assets owned by the utility.
