About

The proposed NWMT-309 project is an 80 MW solar and battery hybrid development in Yellowstone County, Montana. Interconnecting to NorthWestern Energy via the 230kV Broadview Substation, the project entered the NWMT interconnection queue on December 9, 2016, and has a proposed commercial operation date of March 31, 2022. The project's interconnection status is currently in the Facility Study phase.

The hybrid project consists of 80 MW of solar generation capacity. It is listed as an active project in the interconnection queue. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.
