NorthWestern Energy Offers
Incentives
for Renewable Energy Projects
NorthWestern Energy's electric customers in Montana who are
interested in generating their electricity from the sun may be
eligible to participate in demonstration projects in 2004 to turn their dreams into reality.
The National Center for
Appropriate Technology (NCAT) is administering the 2004
Residential Solar Electric Demonstration Project, the 2004
Fire Station Solar Electric Demonstration Project, and
Sun4Communities, a new project that expands on the previous
Sun4Schools project by adding courthouses, city halls, and
public libraries to the list of eligible buildings. Also
new for 2004 is the Solar Meals for Seniors Demonstration
Project, which will provide both solar electric systems and
building energy audits to facilities that prepare and/or serve
meals to seniors.
All the projects are funded by
NorthWestern Energy's Universal Systems Benefits (USB) charge
paid by the company's electric customers.
Look below for company news
releases announcing the projects, plus
applications and accompanying documents for each project, and
a list of Montana renewable energy dealers. Applications and
accompanying documents can be downloaded in pdf format.
