NorthWestern seeking renewable energy projects

NorthWestern Energy is looking to buy a renewable energy project that generates 25 megawatts to 75 megawatts of electricity.

The company said it has issued a request for information to owners or developers of potential projects. Responses are due by the end of September.

John Hines, NorthWestern's chief energy supply officer, says the RFI is open to all qualified renewable energy resources, including wind, biomass, landfill gas and hydrogen.
