Wind growth boosts Stillwater County and Montana schools
Renewables drive over a gigawatt of Montana wind since 2021, funding Stillwater County and local schools with more than six million dollars from Puget Sound Energy. Three southeast counties will share two hundred seventeen million over 30 years from NextEra's Clearwater Wind, plus landowner royalties up to thirty thousand per turbine site. Analysts warn Montana lacks sufficient transmission and a formal grid modernization plan risks eroding the regional energy economy despite strong wind potential and growing industry interest.
