Wind advocates challenge fee against Montana green energy

Montana wind energy advocates are asking the Bonneville Power Administration to kill a transmission fee that drives up the cost of renewable energy.

Attorneys for Earthjustice say the fee applied to 90 miles of BPA line in Montana is making it difficult for Montana wind farms to sell energy to utilities in Washington.

The fee could hamper the development of the Clearwater Wind farm near Forsyth. The project is large enough to power 300,000 homes. Ideally, that power would be transmitted to Washington.
