The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Two officials with the renewable energy company Gaelectric http://www.gaelectric.ie/ gave a three-hour briefing to about 20 business and government leaders Friday in Great Falls focused on the complexity of electric transmission.

Great Falls Development Authority President Brett Doney said he asked Gaelectric to give a second briefing in two months in Great Falls because of the topic’s importance to the regional economy.

The Golden Triangle could have the best wind energy potential in the country, other than off-shore sites, but Montana needs more energy transmission lines to export the power and make wind farms feasible, Doney said.
