Northern Cheyenne plan utility-scale energy project on reservation

Northwestern Energy

The Northern Cheyenne are in consultation with the U.S. Department of Energy on a commercial solar project, one the tribe says would be a good fit for NorthWestern Energy.

In a letter to the Montana Public Service Commission on Aug. 28, President Serena K. Wetherelt asked regulators to require the utility to consider Northern Cheyenne energy in NorthWestern’s 20-year integrated resource plan. Federal tax credits unique to the tribe’s position allow the Northern Cheyenne to recover 50% of their investment in a solar project and collect a 50% rebate for every megawatt-hour of electricity produced.
